<p>Does anyone know if the FYC composition course counts as an English course for medical schools?</p>
<p>Let’s see if you want to get credit or get placed in an advanced language math or language then you should take the exams offered on August 19. What if you want to start with entry level math (i.e. calc ab or lower), do you still need to take the exam?</p>
<p>i do not believe so. What I have come to believe is that these placement tests are for those who did not have the opportunity to pass the AP tests, but still have taken Calculus and want to try and get out of the entry level classes.</p>
<p>The difference between the AP exams and the Notre Dame placement exams are that the AP exams will place you in a higher level while also awarding you credit for the levels you have tested out of, whereas the placement exams merely do what they say they do - that is, place you. Depending on your intended college and its requirements, it may be worth it to try and sneak your way into the easiest Math or language class possible, if you don’t plan on majoring in them, as most colleges require 2 math classes or 2 language classes. All the rhetoric about intellectual challenge aside, why take 102 and 201 when you could just take 101 and 102, especially if you’ve already learned 101 level material in high school?</p>
<p>(Sorry if that was a bit confusing)</p>
<p>I am a junior highly interested in ND (#1 on my list)
I really like the dorm-life and that kind of atmosphere. Also, I am Catholic and like it’s big with the religion.
I have no clue what I want to major in! However, I am thinking maybe education and ND has the program where you can work on your masters for two years, while teaching somewhere in the US. Is this program tough for students since they are off mostly alone in the country? Going to ND is going to be hard enough for my parents (if at all possible) so going for a major in just four years would be ideal. However education takes longer so is the ND program cost effective since I think I read that your teaching at the school pays for your two year education. How much of that is true?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
<p>Runner_Dean, be aware that education is not a major at ND. There is a minor, however, called Education, Schooling, and Society. The minor consists of two required courses and three electives (for a total of 15 credits). Note that the ESS program does not give you the certification required for elementary and secondary teaching, it’s more learning about teaching rather than learning how to teach. If a certification is what you’re after (how to teach), you can take courses at St. Mary’s College through ND’s College of Arts and Letters.

The program you describe is ACE (Alliance for Catholic Education), which is - based on what I’ve heard - a difficult program to get into. It’s a program for which you apply during your senior year. However, if you are accepted into ACE, they’ll pay for your Masters of Education degree and, upon completion of the program, you’ll get your teaching license (for the state of Indiana). The ACE program itself does not cost anything, in fact, you’ll get paid for it.

<p>Toclafane, thanks for the info
Yea, I knew that there was no major of Education, I just worded the question wrong (late at night the brain does not work well). Also, the info on ACE, which was what I was talking about, helps out</p>
<p>I just have one more question.
I was told when I visited then like 50% of Juniors study abroad, and I really want to study abroad. However, does a semester studying abroad cost more than a semester at ND, or is the same? Basicall, I just want to know how expensive it is to study abroad.
thanks for any help one can give.</p>
<p>There’s a $500 or so abroad fee, but for practical purposes, it’s the same as a normal semester abroad in terms of tuition. However, every program that does not include a homestay (most non Spanish-speaking programs) receive the same living stipend monthly, regardless of where you are - in other words, the students studying Dublin and London, the two most expensive cities to live in in Europe, receive the same amount of money as those studying in Uganda, which is, reasonably, much cheaper. I only bring this up because it requires you to budget according to the cost of your proposed site of study.</p>
<p>Also, ACE is an entirely separate program from your undergraduate degree at Notre Dame. It is a program that is open to anyone (although primarily young adults that have graduated from college), and as such is very competitive, although Notre Dame graduates do typically have an edge. Check out ace.nd.edu and browse around. The site has tons of information for you to look over.</p>
