Opportunity to Study and Research in Mexico or Canada for Notre Dame Undergraduate and Graduate Students
ND Students now have the opportunity to participate in a one-semester study abroad program in Mexico or Canada. Students from any discipline may participate. Through the program, students will choose from one of four universities and will pursue studies in topics such as Border and Environmental Management, Democratic Process and Institutional Reform, Cultural Identities, and North America after NAFTA (paying particular attention to economic and social well-being). Click here for more information about the curriculum.
Students who participate in the program will gain a comparative and transnational vision of the processes that characterize the NAFTA region and find innovative solutions to the challenges facing the US, Canada, and Mexico. Participating in the program will allow students to
-
Understand how NAFTA as well as various political, cultural, and economic events have affected relations and policy between the three program countries
-
Get guidance from leading professors to conduct research in one or more of the four sub-topics of the project
-
Learn through interactions with peers and the three institutions focusing on the same issues
-
Improve Spanish or French language skills
MSG-NA Costs and Fees
Students accepted into the MSG-NA programs will pay Notre Dame tuition only, which covers the following:
-
Tuition for the program of study
-
Notre Dame credit and grades for courses taken abroad
As opposed to other University study abroad programs, students in the MSG-NA program do NOT pay Notre Dame room and board fees nor the $600 international studies fee (which are used in other programs to cover airfare, field trips, and room and board at the study abroad site).
In the MSG-NA program, each student is responsible for paying for his/her own airfare, field trips, and room and board at the study abroad site. Each MSG-NA student will receive a $3,000 stipend to put towards these and any other necessary expenses.
Students may incur other expenses, such as passport and visa fees, along with other incidental costs specific to the program of study. For financial aid purposes, the cost of attendance will be calculated based on estimated program costs as determined by the Office of Financial Aid.
