Northwestern University Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 14 courses
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, so MMSS students should carefully review any specific rules that pertain to their other major when paired with MMSS (see Joint Majors). Weinberg College does allow double-counting a department 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. All adjunct majors require completion of a stand-alone major as well. MMSS students must complete a major in a social science or other approved area. See the Mathematics Second Major or Minor for MMSS Students for information about the major or the minor in mathematics when combined with the MMSS adjunct major; see the program website and relevant sections of this Catalog for information on adjustments to requirements in other majors or minors for students in MMSS: Students wishing to pursue two joint majors with MMSS (i.e. to pursue a triple major) are NOT allowed to double count MMSS courses towards both of their other majors, i.e., MMSS students may only apply the double counting rules to ONE major. In special cases, permission may be given to count some MMSS courses as fulfilling the requirements of two other majors. However, explicit permission must be obtained from the Director of MMSS and from the Directors of Undergraduate Studies of BOTH of the other departments.
