Application

Admissions Process

CDT accepts applications for approximately two weeks in October and March, prior to registration. Admission decisions are sent via email the week before registration opens each semester. Students can fill out this minor interest form to be notified when the application form is opened for future application windows.
 
Note for non-Arts & Letters students:

Limited resources and high student demand requires yearly application-based admission of non-Arts & Letters students contingent on current program size and resource availability.

Considerations that will influence a decision to admit a non-Arts & Letters applicants will include factors such as the applicant's current college and program of study, the case made in the application for how CDT complements a student's major(s) and career goals, as well as the quality of the students performance record thus far at Notre Dame. The application process is competitive and admission cannot be guaranteed. In some years, depending on availability, there may an additional window for students to apply. Please contact the CDT office at cdt@nd.edu if you are interested.
