How can I learn about study abroad programs?
If you are interested in studying abroad during your junior year, you should look into applying early during your sophomore year because many deadlines are in November of your sophomore year; however, it doesn't hurt to look at your options during your first year as well! The international studies website is full of information about programs, locations, dates, and course options. Notre Dame offers study abroad opportunities in many countries for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Some students choose to study abroad the summer after their freshman year or in the second semester of their sophomore year instead of or in addition to junior year (when the majority of students who plan to study abroad do so). Talk to your academic advisor as well as the study abroad staff to see if you are eligible.
