About the course
The Program of Liberal Studies is one of the most distinctive, challenging, and rewarding courses of study that you can pursue at the University of Notre Dame. In an integrated curriculum composed of small discussion-based Seminars and Tutorials spanning the arts, history, literature, natural science, philosophy, politics, and theology, students and professors join a vital conversation about what it means to be human.
While some students complement their PLS coursework with a variety of electives, others delve more deeply into specific areas through a second major or minor. Many of our students study abroad, and all take advantage of the range of extracurricular opportunities available to students at Notre Dame. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
