Each year, students have the opportunity to spend spring semester in Ireland at the College of St. Scholastica's Study Center in Louisburgh, an unspoiled village in County Mayo. Louisburgh is on the west coast of the Republic of Ireland, only a short distance from Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick, and the bustling little town of Westport. Students live in fully furnished holiday cottages on the edge of the village, only a brief walk away from the center of Louisburgh and a slightly longer walk away from miles of beautiful beach.

The program consists of four 4-credit courses; topics and faculty change yearly. Irish guest lecturers and a combination of day trips, three-day trips, and a five-day trip ensure that participants visit almost all of the Republic of Ireland and gain first-hand knowledge of the people and culture. The Spring in Ireland program is open to students at CSS and other institutions upon successful application.
