In 1842, Father Edward Sorin, a young French missionary, arrived in South Bend Indiana.  He surveyed the land provided to him and announced his vision: to build a great Catholic University.  Father Sorin’s leadership, charisma and faith created the foundation that transformed this dream into a reality. 

As members of the University of Notre Dame, we reaffirm our commitment to Father Sorin’s belief that the leaders graduating from this MBA program will be a force for good in the world. 

To that end, we believe the following values exemplify our University and our program.
