Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 45 courses
The mathematics major has three components: a Basic Course requirement, a Computing requirement, and a Mathematics Concentration. Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a major course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog (see notes under basic courses and computing requirement, above). Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. The Department of Mathematics nominates outstanding mathematics majors to graduate with honors in the major. Mathematics majors interested in pursuing honors should consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies before the end of their junior year. To be eligible for nomination a student must:
