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.

How do I add a second major, minor or concentration? (FAQ)

Answer

Students are encouraged to first research the requirements of such an addition by running a What If? audit on your GPS and meeting with an advisor in the secondary department. If your reason for adding the second credential is job related, you might also wish to speak to a Career Center Counselor about the opportunities available to those majors and strategies to maximize your options. After doing this legwork, we recommend that you sit down with an MCOB advisor to determine how the course requirements will fit into your business curriculum.

See this page for additional guidance on choosing and declaring a second major or minor.

What is an “attribute”? (FAQ)

Answer

Specific course attributes are codes assigned to courses to flag them as being approved to meet certain University requirements. In NOVO and Class Search, you can search by course attribute to find classes that will fulfill your requirements such as 2nd THEO, 2nd PHIL or HIST.  There are also business attributes that can make searching easier: Class of 2025: BA02 pulls all the courses in the sophomore sequence, BA03 pulls the core junior requirements and BAMC pulls ALL major-level courses in the College; Class of 2026 and beyond: BCOR pulls all the core curriculum courses, BBRD pulls all the business broadening, BAMC pulls all the major-level courses.  These are helpful because all the courses appear in one listing regardless of discipline.

How can I find out what courses are available in each location? (FAQ)

Answer

This listing shows courses that have been approved in the past in each of the Notre Dame Study Abroad locations.

These lists are representative of available courses but are neither guaranteed nor exhaustive. You may revise your Plan of Study using these lists but understand that the courses are subject to change. Keep in mind that you do not need to list specific courses on your plan of study. It is sufficient to indicate that you will complete your 2nd THEO requirement, for instance.  We do not need you to indicate the specific Theology course.

Required major-level business courses are not typically available. However, juniors majoring in FIN or MARK may take one major elective in their international semester if the course has been pre-approved and assigned an ND course number.  For example, in Dublin there are several FIN major courses listed. Students may list one FIN major elective in their plans. International courses are listed with a “4” in the second digit, thus FIN 34220 is the equivalent of FIN 30220 (Macroeconomic Analysis).

Students with 2nd majors or minors should contact their departments to verify how many courses might count in any study abroad location.

What classes can be taken pass/fail? (FAQ)

A course I’d like to take requires “Departmental Approval.” What does that mean and how do I get it? (FAQ)

Answer

Each department has specific reasons for requiring departmental approval on its courses. You must contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) from that Department to obtain approval.  Contact info is always listed on their departmental webpage.  Advisors in the Mendoza College of Business can help you understand the restrictions on Class Search but have no jurisdiction over non-business courses.

Understand that for most major level courses, majors receive first priority! If there are seats open after all majors register, you may make a seat request.  Major level business courses are handled by the individual departments:

ACCT: Prof. Colleen Creighton (ccreight@nd.edu)

FIN: Prof. Jim Leady (jleady@nd.edu)

ITAO: Prof. Jen Waddell (jwaddell@nd.edu)
