Beyond the Classroom
Alumni mentor network
The Department of Economics offers an alumni mentoring program. Undergraduate economics and international economics majors are matched with alumni, based on career interests, for career advice and networking. Interested students should contact the Undergraduate Studies Coordinator.
Internships
Internships are strongly encouraged, and funding is available.
On campus, the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities offers research internships (Econometrics must be completed).
Off-campus, many employers visit campus to recruit for summer internships. The department announces these recruiting events throughout the semester. Check out the Meruelo Family Center for Career Development for opportunities.
Washington Program
Live, learn, and work in our nation's capital during the fall or spring semester with the University of Notre Dame Washington Program.
The program combines coursework with internships in government offices, Congress, non-governmental organizations, the media, and cultural institutions.
Students can intern at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, the Economic Strategy Institute, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and other organizations in Washington, DC.

Global Engagement Certificate
Notre Dame’s Global Engagement Certificate program rewards the learning and experiences students are already engaging in. It stands out on resumes and shows employers and graduate schools that you’re prepared to be a global citizen.
Students 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.
