Graduate Training

At Notre Dame we are driven by the conviction that your research matters. We know that your academic accomplishments will be distinctive, empowering you to follow the call of Notre Dame's founder, Father Sorin, to be a force for good in the world.

We also know that student success develops from a setting wherein you matter. That’s why our approach to graduate training is holistic—engaging minds, hearts, and spirits.

At our core is a dual commitment to professional development and student wellness. We believe that by immersing you in a rich environment designed to help you thrive, we endow you with the greatest likelihood to flourish and discover. 

As you pursue academic success and professionalize your talents, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with our diverse intellectual community, forming scholarly collaborations and lifelong friendships. You’ll learn to promote the value of your findings and teach your passions across broad audiences. And you’ll develop the skills to exemplify integrity and lead positive advances in your field.  

Your Research Matters. You Matter. Invest in professional development and well-being initiatives. Through your research, you have the power to be a force for good in our world.
