Sydney Flynn (ME In Mendoza)

While taking a brief break from her time at Hogwarts, Sydney is a sophomore business major, undecided between accounting and finance, with minors in anthropology and entrepreneurship. Aside from “playing” school, she plays for Notre Dame’s varsity women’s lacrosse team, yet actively avoids any extra physical exercise. Sydney enjoys figure skating, TV and movie blooper reels, and shamelessly singing anywhere at any time. Sydney spends her free time volunteering with Special Olympics and Hand in Hand ministries and hopes to study abroad this summer.

Graduation Progress System

Available on your Student Academic Tab on insideND, the Graduation Progress System (or GPS as it’s more commonly known) tracks all your graduation requirements including University, College, Major and 2nd major or minor (if officially declared) as well as electives. It offers a What If? feature that helps you explore majors and minors you’re considering and calculates your major GPA. We recommend you refer to it before registering to make sure you’re clear on your outstanding requirements and after registration to ensure your courses were properly categorized. Any discrepancies should be brought to the attention of an advisor for clarification and correction. A sample GPS may be viewed here.

Plan of Study

With assistance from an advisor, students receive a personalized plan of study to ensure you understand the requirements that lie ahead. This baseline plan becomes the basis for all future registration planning and should be updated regularly to incorporate actual classes completed and new goals such as study abroad, second majors and/or minors. These plans are housed on your Google Drive/Shared With Me. This provides easy access by both student and advisors. If you wish to update your plan, you must create a new tab by right clicking on the most recent tab, select Duplicate, rename it with the current date and make your changes.

While there is some flexibility in scheduling, it is highly recommended that students follow the sequencing laid out on their reviewed plan of study as closely as possible. Any deviations should be discussed with an advisor to ensure you stay on track and minimize complicated course loads etc.

Sample Plan of Study

Peer Tutoring

Peer tutoring in select core Business courses is available at no charge to students. Students in the Notre Dame Business Honors Program are offering tutoring services for various courses within the Mendoza College of Business. If you are in need of a tutor, please schedule a tutoring session on the BHP website here.

For additional information, contact Abby Zelenka (azelenka@nd.edu), BHP Program Coordinator.

I'd like to get into a closed section. How can I make that happen? (FAQ)

Answer

First, it is important to understand that individual professors do not control their section sizes. This is handled at the department level. Please do not waste your time and the professor's by contacting them directly. Typically, departments will authorize an overload into a closed section only if there are no other workable options to get the student a mix of classes that allows them to make adequate progress toward fulfilling graduation requirements. We will not overload sections to accommodate work or volunteer conflicts. Academics must come first. If you wish to discuss your request, the appropriate contact depends on the course:

1) If it is a core Sequence 2 or Sequence 3 BUSINESS course (i.e. everyone takes it regardless of major), reach out to an advisor in 101 Mendoza.

2) If it is a major level business course, those are handled by the individual departments:

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

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

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

MARK: Prof. Mitchell Olsen (molsen2@nd.edu )

MGTO (MGTC, SMGT majors): Prof. Jennifer Cronin (jcronin5@nd.edu)

3) If it is not a business course, you will need to reach out to the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for that department. The contact info is typically listed on their webpage.

What’s an eForm and how is it different from the forms on this site? (FAQ)

Answer

The Registrar’s Office created a number of eForms which are housed on insideND and are used University-wide. (Look for the blue diamond icon or simply plug eform into the search bar). These include forms to add/drop a class after the 6th class day, obtain pre-approval for a summer transfer course and a Curriculum Change form to add or drop a major or minor. Not all forms can be initiated directly by a student depending on the timing. Contact an advisor if you have any questions.

These forms differ from the forms built into your Student Dashboard which are specifically for business students.

What types of careers do Marketing majors pursue? (FAQ)

Answer

The Marketing major prepares students for a wide range of opportunities in business. The Marketing Decision Analytics track prepares students for careers in marketing & data analysis, marketing research, and retail consulting. The Brandscaping track prepares students for careers in brand management, advertising media planning, digital marketing analysis, and social media strategy. The Marketing Development track prepares students for careers in retail account management, digital marketing sales, and B2B technical sales. Each of these tracks also prepare you for a career in consulting. The Graduate School track should be self-designed to lead to a targeted graduate or law school. Marketing majors from each of these tracks are also increasingly employed by nonbusiness and nonprofit organizations—educational or art institutions, charitable organizations, and hospitals—as they realize the critical importance of marketing to their success.
