Founded in 1842, the University is dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of truth for its own sake. One of its distinctive goals is to provide a forum where Catholic thought may intersect with knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity.
Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by US News & World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger's and Kaplan/Newsweek. The University placed 89th in the 2011–12 Times ranking of the 400 best universities worldwide.

Twenty-one Notre Dame faculty members, including current President Rev. John I. Jenkins, CSC, and Kellogg Institute Director Scott Mainwaring, have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the nation’s leading learned academy.
At Notre Dame, education has always been linked to values, among them volunteering in community service. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service.
With a new vice president for internationalization, the University is also focused on studying and making connections to the rest of the world. Notre Dame ranks eighth in the percentage of undergraduates studying abroad among major US research universities.
