Global education opportunities are powerful learning tools that surround a student with a particular culture and intense experience. Through local, national and international immersion experiences, students will be empowered to work effectively with diverse populations in a variety of settings to build global perspective, cultural competency and cultural fluency. Learn more about Notre Dame's Global Education Program here.
NDSJ Global Education Opportunities
Students have the opportunity to experience culture, service, and language through a variety of unique local, national and global trip offerings. From rebuilding neighborhoods and snacking on beignets in New Orleans to serving the underprivileged while learning about the Tenderloin's storied history in San Francisco, there is a trip for everyone!
Traditionally, Notre Dame offers 7 justice and leadership immersion trips on an annual basis during the school year. For the 2022-23 school year, ND is slowly phasing the global education program back into rotation by offering the trips below. The COVID travel landscape will be reevaluated periodically and any updates or trip additions will be posted here and in the Student Announcements as they become available.
