Extend Your Study at Notre Dame
Notre Dame's visiting international student program, the American Semester Abroad Program (ASAP), welcomes international undergraduate students from around the world to attend our university for a semester or a year. Students' home institutions do not need to have a partnership or agreements with Notre Dame. All ASAP students will be fully integrated into our campus community by taking ND classes, living and eating on campus, and enjoying access to all campus facilities. While attending the university for a semester or a year, students have the opportunities to engage in a wide range of research opportunities on campus.
To learn more about the ASAP and your semester/year-long experience, please click here. More information on combining your iSURE study with the ASAP can be found on the iSURE application page. Please feel free to email globalprograms@nd.edu if you have questions regarding extending your stay at ND via the ASAP.
