Reminders
- It has worked out best for students to take the Intro class during your junior year.
- Choose at least two electives from the Education Focused category. The third may be either Education Focused or Education General.
- Choose electives from different disciplines; one may be in your major (but cannot be double-counted with your major).
- If you are a major in a course we cross-list, please register as a major, not as an ESS student. Once the semester has started, contact our DUS, Fr. Kevin Sandberg, C.S.C., ksandberg@nd.edu, to count the course for ESS.
- Three credits of Research Lab (ESS 47602) can be counted as one Education Focused elective.
- The Seminar in Educational Research is offered only in the fall of senior year.
- Students who write a Thesis in Major must take an additional Education Focused elective.
- Find information about Directed Readings here.
- ESS will consider, on a case-by-case basis, courses not cross-listed with ESS but that have applicable content. For approval of a course, please contact our DUS, Fr. Kevin Sandberg, ksandberg@nd.edu.
Enrollment
Students must be enrolled in the minor to register for ESS courses. Schedule an appointment with our Director of Undergraduate Studies, Fr. Kevin Sandberg, C.S.C., ksandberg@nd.edu.
