May I switch my business major? (FAQ)

Answer

Yes, students may change their business major at any time so long as they can reasonably complete the major requirements without exceeding eight semesters at Notre Dame. We recommend you meet with an advisor in 101 Mendoza for assistance in revising your plan of study and ensuring you understand all the implications of the change under consideration. The advisor will then submit the required form to effect the change.

Am I constrained on my first choice of major? (FAQ)

Answer

Although the College has imposed major enrollment limits in the past, as of Fall 2019, all business students are free to select their preferred business major without exception. Students may also subsequently change their business major so long as they can complete the requirements within the standard eight semester limit. We encourage students to utilize the discernment resources available to them, to ensure they make informed and intentional major selections.

Is there a graduation GPA required? (FAQ)

Answer

Yes.  All Notre Dame students must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 in order to graduate.  Additionally, business majors must achieve an average GPA of 2.0 within their selected major (this refers to the 19.5-21 credits specifically in your major and does not include College requirements).  Both GPAs are calculated automatically on your GPS so be sure to check it regularly.  Advisors regularly reach out to students who are in danger of not meeting these two requirements to discuss resources and strategies to help ensure you meet these requirements.
