Sacred Heart University's expanded Dingle campus
Sacred Heart University has opened a newly renovated and expanded campus in Dingle, Ireland.
The university, which has its main campus in Fairfield, has maintained a study abroad presence in Dingle since 2004, originally operating out of the Díseart Centre of Irish Spirituality and Culture.
In 2017, SHU acquired the former Christian Brothers School in Dingle, with the intent of converting it into a purpose-built campus.
The renovations, which were paused for a time during the COVID-19 pandemic, were finally completed at a cost of $9 million.
The newly expanded facilities, known locally as Ollscoil An Chroí Naofa, host more than 500 U.S. college students each year from a variety of institutions, according to SHU.
Course offerings include Celtic religious traditions, Irish folklore, Irish music, filmmaking, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, environmental studies and nursing.
