Notre Dame students looking for a solution to the challenges they now face for their academic future, Shepherd University’s President Mary J.C. Hendrix wants you to know, “You are welcome here!”
“There are so many similarities between Notre Dame and Shepherd—our values, our academic programs, our student services, our campus environment—that we truly feel you’d be at home at Shepherd,” Hendrix said. “You are welcome here!”

Shepherd shares many of the same values that likely brought you to Notre Dame—a commitment to service, diversity, and civility—in a similar landscape. Shepherd students enjoy the beauty of West Virginia with quick access to hiking, biking, water sports, and more, in some of the most popular locations in West Virginia. All that, and we’re an easy drive (or train ride!) to many metro areas, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York City.
And as for academics, Shepherd’s most popular majors are the same as Notre Dame’s—biology, education, nursing, business, and criminal justice—with a strong base in liberal arts and sciences. Our students often tell us that their direct connection to Shepherd faculty contributes to their robust academic experience.
If you already have earned college credits, we’ll work with you to transfer as many credits as possible—so you don’t miss a beat in your education timeline or need to delay your graduation. You could start at Shepherd as soon as this fall!
