The tremendous success of the program attracted attention from other colleges within the university, so that in 1997 The London Program was expanded to accommodate the demand and the curricular needs of students from all of Notre Dame's colleges. The program has been a popular option among Notre Dame undergraduates. A major component of the program for all students is a required sequence of classes designed to introduce them to the fine and performing arts. This sequence satisfies the University fine arts requirement, and, more importantly, insures that students attend at least nine theatrical, musical, or dance productions, and become familiar with London's museums. Every student must complete a minimum of fifteen credit hours while in London.
Most participants are able to earn three to six hours of credit toward their majors.
Since not all majors are represented among courses offered each semester, every effort is made to place students in the semester that best meets their needs. The PLS seminar and Business College courses are offered only in the spring, while Physics 221 and engineering courses are available only in the fall term. All London Program courses are Notre Dame courses. Credit hours are recorded on a student's transcript and quality points applied to the cumulative average in the usual manner. Because of this, students continue to receive their financial aid packages while in the program.
