Students
The Maritain Center offers a variety of programming for students of all levels - undergraduate, graduate, and beyond. Learn more about each of our programs here.
Cercle d'études
The Cercle d'études course is a one-credit course patterned after the study-circles of Jacques Maritain. Featuring discussions led by a series of visiting professors from across the University, each session is open to all members of the Notre Dame community.
Maritain Fellows
The Maritain Fellows program at the Maritain Center is founded to provide fellowship and intellectual formation for students at the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, and Holy Cross College who wish to closely study and discuss fundamental questions in philosophy and related disciplines, particularly as informed by the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Maritain’s vision of “integral Christian humanism,” but also more broadly from the great traditions of reasoning in conversation with faith.
The Maritain Fellows program is organized into graduate and undergraduate branches and led by student officers in coordination with the Maritain Center.
