Irish contributions to literature, music and dance have had a global reach, with an incredibly rich and unique history of their own. Pursuing a degree in Irish Studies is the perfect way to weave your own tapestry of an educational experience, choosing from courses in political science, history, design, music, language, literature, theology, geography, and more.
