Preparing Students to Think Critically in a Global Society
Our belief is that Mount Notre Dame graduates will view themselves as Christian women whose lives take them beyond their own country and culture in a global society. Our objective is to teach young women to think critically and analytically, and to provide them with the concepts and models of inquiry used in history and the social sciences.
