Undergraduate Program: SCS & Summer Session
Overview | The Mathematics Major | Course Schedules | Summer Session |
Mathematics plays a central role in modern society. It has long been an important tool in science and engineering, and is used increasingly in varied and sophisticated ways in the social sciences, the humanities and business. With expanding applications, many areas of mathematics, from pure to applied, have grown tremendously. This major offers a variety of courses that address these diverse applications of mathematics. In addition to academic and teaching opportunities, those with mathematics degrees go on to work in the private and public sector in such areas as insurance, information technology, engineering, urban planning and policy, the aerospace industry and consulting.
Through the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) the Department of Mathematics offers an evening program to meet the educational needs of working adults. SCS students are a diverse group. They come from all age groups, from all parts of the Chicago area and beyond, and from varied backgrounds. Some already have college degrees and are preparing for graduate school or seeking professional growth. Others come to Northwestern to pursue their dream of finishing a college education.
The mathematics major through the School of Continuing Studies leads to a BPhil or BSGS degree.

In the summer, all the colleges of the University combine their course offerings into a single catalog, published by the Office of Summer Session and Special Programs. Thus, it is the one time of the academic year that courses offered by other colleges are available to continuing SCS students at SCS's tuition rate, and without special permission. Students who register for their first NU course during the summer, as students at large, and later register with SCS, will receive the amount of summer course credit granted to non-SCS students. Students should clarify with an adviser the credit available for Summer Session courses, as well as the applicability of those courses to SCS certificate and degree programs.
