ABOUT NOTRE DAMEFounded in 1842 by a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, the University of Notre Dame is an independent, national Roman Catholic university located adjacent to the city of South Bend, Indiana, approximately 90 miles east of Chicago. It is one of the premier universities in the country and is consistently ranked among the top 20 best national universities by U.S. News & World Report.

The source of the university’s academic strength is its faculty, which since 1988 has seen the addition of more than 500 new members and the establishment of more than 200 endowed professorships. Notre Dame faculty members have won 51 fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities since 1999, more than any other university in the nation.

Notre Dame graduates are world leaders in business, science and politics, and have served as CEOs of some of the world’s most successful companies, including Texaco, Liz Claiborne, Mobil Corporation, Office Depot, Chiquita Brands International and many more.

“We know there are a lot of people from across the country and around the world who would like to take advantage of the educational opportunities that Notre Dame provides. Our online offerings allow you to be able to do that. They provide you convenience because you can learn at home, at work, while you travel and you can learn at your own pace. You can determine how fast or how slowly you want to go through programs and you can determine which courses make the most sense for you and build a program that is customized to your personal developmental needs.”

OUR MISSIONThe University of Notre Dame prides itself on being an environment of teaching and learning that fosters the development in its students of those disciplined habits of mind, body, and spirit that characterize educated, skilled, and free human beings. In addition, Notre Dame seeks to cultivate in its students not only an appreciation for the great achievements of human beings but also a disciplined sensibility to the poverty, injustice and oppression that burden the lives of so many. The aim is to create a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice.

“The Notre Dame online classroom was easy to navigate and the live sessions provided an excellent opportunity to interface directly with the professors and other participants. I learned many new concepts and now have a perspective on how to target my efforts. The program faculty had tremendous knowledge and insight.”

Gerard Kiely Completed the Executive Certificate in Business Administration

The Mendoza College of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), the primary accrediting association for American schools of business.
