Courses
About our Fall 2023 courses
Courses in constitutional studies come from across the university disciplines. If you’d like to learn more about individual courses or request advising on which classes to take, please book an appointment with Associate Director Dr. Deborah O'Malley (domalle2@nd.edu) here.
Please note that seats listed under a "CNST" course number are reserved for students who have officially declared the Constitutional Studies minor. However, those courses also have a primary or parent department course number (e.g., POLS or HIST), which may or may not be open to anyone. Any course on our list is eligible for minor credit, no matter which seat a student is enrolled in (a CNST seat or otherwise). Typically, AP course credits are applied only to University requirements and electives, not toward majors or minors.
THE GATEWAY COURSE WILL BE OFFERED FALL 2023.
