Resources for Parents and Families

An Arts and Letters education continues the work parents have begun— it exposes students to new ideas, sharpens their skills, challenges them to step outside the boundaries of their previous experience, and prepares them to fulfill their dreams.

Choosing to be educated by the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame is perhaps one of the most practical decisions a student can make – an Arts and Letters education opens up an unparalleled experience of joy, growth, and opportunity. Most importantly, Arts and Letters continues to cultivate in its students a lesson their parents have already taught: that their gifts are to be used to make a difference—in their families, in their communities, and in the world they serve through their work.
