What you will study
First year builds business breadth alongside Notre Dame's Core Curriculum. You take introductory units in management, marketing, economics and accounting basics, plus Core philosophy and ethics units that anchor business decision-making in the university's Catholic ethical tradition. Teaching is delivered in small classes rather than large lecture theatres. Second year is where you shape a major such as marketing, management, human resources or entrepreneurship. Subjects become more applied, with case studies, team projects and live-brief assignments drawn from real organisations, and you continue Core ethics and theology units. Third year focuses on strategy, leadership and a capstone or industry-linked project. You integrate your major into a practical business problem, often working with a local employer or not-for-profit, and finish remaining Core units before graduating.
