Northwestern University The Graduate School 12 courses
The following requirements are in addition to, or further elaborate upon, those requirements outlined in The Graduate School Policy Guide. Students must successfully complete at least nine quality letter-graded course units (ABC, not P/NP or S/U) authorized for graduate credit in addition to completing the minimum number of units of credit needed for a bachelorโs degree (42 or more units, depending on the degree and school). TGS allows a maximum of three units to count towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Individual programs may have more strict requirements. Students must speak with both their undergraduate and graduate advisers to ensure that both sets of requirements are met without exceeding the limits of double counting, if permitted. Undergraduates intending to apply to the BS/MS program are strongly encouraged to complete these courses in the undergraduate curriculum:
