Student Opportunities

"My freshman year, I took Japanese as my required language. I ended up going on the Summer Language Abroad (SLA) Program to Hokkaido... studying Japanese gave me this opportunity to come get an internship in a foreign city." 

— Emily Campagna, on interning at Oracle Japan.

Beyond the Classroom

Internships abroad are just one of the many valuable opportunities you can take advantage of as an East Asian languages student at Notre Dame, and there are many different university grants available to students pursuing international research and internship experiences. Our department also offers study abroad programs and student clubs and organizations to help you broaden your horizons.

Globally Engaged Citizens

Notre Dame’s Globally Engaged Citizens program rewards the learning and experiences you are already engaging in — and will stand out on your resume and show employers and graduate schools that you’re prepared to be a global citizen.

Students in any college or school can earn the certificate by taking two classes and participating in cultural activities on and off campus. You may already be well on your way to meeting the requirements.
