Just a heads up for current Juniors with interest in Notre Dame. There is likely to be some major changes to how Notre Dame handles the whole AP credit issue.
As part of the Core Curriculum Review there is a current recommendation against allowing AP credit to count for Gen Ed core requirements. It looks like they would likely accept the AP Lang towards the Writing and Rhetoric requirement, but the student would still have to take a second University Seminar if that is the case. This is still in draft form. The earliest that the policy would go into effect would be the fall of next year in conjunction with some changes to the core curriculum as well.
Below is the link to the FAQ question as part of the Core Curriculum Review. On this page there are links to the draft report that was published as well as the subcommittee’s report specifically regarding AP credits.
