The courses which
are offered at Notre Dame fulfill the requirements of the Louisiana
State Department of Education
for graduation. The courses also provide a challenge to a fairly wide
range of student abilities. To graduate with a Notre Dame diploma will
require more work than the State minimum requirements. Eight courses
will be taken each year that a student is enrolled at Notre Dame. To be
eligible for a Notre Dame diploma a student must accumulate 28 credits.
