University of Notre Dame
The University of Notre Dame, founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is the most prominent Catholic research university in the United States, and its golden-domed Main Building, topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary, is one of the most recognizable university landmarks in the country. Notre Dame's football program has won 11 consensus national championships and produced seven Heisman Trophy winners, and the team's independence from any athletic conference in football specifically, along with its national television contract with NBC dating back to 1991, reflects a level of standalone national athletic relevance matched by very few other university programs. The university's Mendoza College of Business and its law school have each built strong national reputations, and Notre Dame's continued explicit Catholic mission — including mandatory theology and philosophy coursework for all undergraduates regardless of major — distinguishes its academic requirements from those of most secular private research universities. Notre Dame's combination of major-program football success, a devoted national alumni base extending well beyond Indiana, and genuinely strong academics across business, law, and the sciences has made it one of the most recognizable Catholic universities in the world, with a level of national brand awareness that rivals much larger institutions.
VS
Indiana University Bloomington
Indiana University Bloomington, founded in 1820, is the flagship of the Indiana University system, and its Jacobs School of Music is consistently ranked among the very best music conservatories in the country, an unusual strength for a large public research university rather than a dedicated conservatory. The Kelley School of Business is one of the top-ranked undergraduate business programs at any public university in the country, and IU's informatics and computer science programs, built on the university's early leadership in database and information systems research, have grown into some of the strongest in the Midwest. IU's limestone-heavy campus architecture, built using stone quarried from the surrounding southern Indiana region, gives the Bloomington campus a distinctive, uniform aesthetic that's frequently cited among the most attractive public university campuses in the country. The university's combination of a genuinely elite music school, a top-ranked undergraduate business program, and a scenic, self-contained college-town setting in Bloomington has made IU a consistent draw for students seeking a comprehensive public research university experience with unusual specific strength in music alongside its broader academic offerings.
