Keough’s eight institutes and one center are bound together by the School’s mission: to advance integral human development, a concept drawn from Catholic social thought which promotes the flourishing of every person and the whole person, so that all people can reach their full potential. This mission encompasses both fundamental research and policy applications.

In its founding decade, the School has established a strong record of success. It offers a Master of Global Affairs—a two-year professional degree—and a newly-established undergraduate major in global affairs, as well as doctoral programs jointly sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and relevant departments within Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters.
