Join one of the more than 100 clubs and societies on campus to meet your fellow students and get a feel for the social life on this campus of 12,000. The university is a great place to study Irish culture, especially in the special Celtic civilization courses developed for visiting students during the fall pre-sessions. Early-start fall semester options include archaeology, literature in Ireland, history and modern Ireland, and Irish ecosystems. Full-year students can earn a certificate in Irish studies. Certificate Program Option Available! Certificate programs, similar to a minor at Purdue, allow study abroad students to take approximately 15 credits in a specialized subject area and earn an official certificate from the host university. This would be a nice addition to any resume.
