Course Options Weinberg College operates on the quarter system, and students typically take four courses each quarter. In these small, writing- and discussion-oriented courses, you will investigate a specific theme or issue. Both options typically require five years of study. For more information see Dual Bachelor's Degrees section of this catalog. The Honors Program in Medical Education HPME is designed for exceptionally well-prepared high school students who seek a career in medicine or medical science.
It provides a plan whereby undergraduate students entering Northwestern are admitted simultaneously to the Feinberg School of Medicine. HPME is no longer accepting new students; details about requirements can be found in the or earlier Undergraduate Catalog.
Students are not self-selected but are recommended by the faculty to the Graduate School for admission. Students are officially admitted only after their credentials have been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the senior associate dean of the Graduate School.
Students enrolled in a number of departments of Weinberg College may simultaneously pursue secondary teaching certification through the School of Education and Social Policy. Students may earn science certification with a biology, chemistry, or physics designation; social science certification with an economics, history, or political science designation; or certification in English, mathematics, or Spanish.
Majors in the certification areas who wish to be considered for teaching certification must apply, be admitted to, and complete all requirements of the Secondary Teaching Program as described in the School of Education and Social Policy chapter of this catalog. Weinberg College students participate in many academic opportunities outside of the college, sometimes taking individual courses of interest and sometimes completing a formal program of study.
Many possibilities are included in this catalog. For more information see the relevant school chapter of this catalog. Interested students should also contact the schools through which the options are offered. Each major in Weinberg College offers a program that may lead to the award of honors in the major to graduating seniors with outstanding records of achievement. Criteria vary by major, but all share certain features.
Students recommended for honors in the major must. Each major has an undergraduate honors committee responsible for administering its honors program and for preparing the final recommendations for honors submitted in May to the Weinberg College Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence.
A faculty member typically unconnected with the project must submit another letter giving independent and substantive judgments. The departmental honors committee reviews nominations during spring quarter and takes a separate recorded vote on each candidate.
Approved nominations are reviewed by the Committee on Undergraduate Academic Excellence, which makes the final decision. Information on procedures for students pursuing separate honors in two departments or programs, or interdisciplinary honors spanning two majors, is available from the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Advising and on the webpage at honors in two departments or programs.
Registering for Independent Study allows students to earn course credit by working on a research or creative project under the supervision of a faculty member. During the quarter before enrolling in , students must submit for departmental approval a detailed description of the work they will undertake and the basis for its evaluation. Upon completion of the course, they must submit an abstract of the completed work to the department, where the description and the abstract are filed.
By departmental invitation seniors may take a senior-year seminar in one or more quarters, up to a maximum of 4 units. Students may not register for more than 2 units of in a quarter or take to make up for credit they lack as a result of failure or uncompleted courses. No more than 9 units of and may be presented as credit for graduation. Certain independent study courses offered by some departments with course numbers different from and are also subject to these restrictions.
Many students seek to enrich their education with practical experiences gained off campus. Chicago Field Studies administers several programs that combine seminars taught on campus with internships typically at Chicago-area organizations. Other Weinberg College departments and programs also offer opportunities for off-campus work. These are described in their sections of this catalog. No more than 6 units of credit earned through internship-linked coursework may count toward a Weinberg degree.
See the college website for a list of options counting toward this limit. Minor requirements are listed under the appropriate headings in this catalog.
Completion of a minor is optional, not a degree requirement. Students may not count any course toward both a minor and a major unless the catalog description of the minor explicitly permits this or the course fulfills a related course requirement for the major.
A course may not count toward more than one minor. All courses counted toward a minor, including prerequisites for the minor, must be completed with a grade of at least C—.
Weinberg College offers excellent preparation for subsequent training in professions such as law, medicine, and management. Each year many graduates pursue professional study in these areas. Other students enter the workforce directly. All majors can furnish suitable preparation for professional schools, provided appropriate courses are taken. No major, however, is intended solely as preprofessional training.
The college advisers in the Office of Undergraduate Studies and Advising help students design academic programs that combine the breadth of a liberal arts education with adequate preparation for further professional study. Northwestern Career Advancement is another resource; several career counselors specialize in helping Weinberg students identify career goals and paths toward achieving them.
Undergraduates may take specially designed linkage seminars designated on the transcript by "-LK" that approach social and work-related concerns through the eyes of an accomplished nonacademic professional with an affinity for the liberal arts and a gift for intellectual inquiry. These seminars link liberal education to professional issues, illustrating how theory and practice affect and enrich one another and thus focusing on the transition from the academic to the nonacademic world.
Weinberg College is committed to facilitating student research and to helping undergraduates immerse themselves in challenging, intense explorations through well-focused projects. The college, as well as some of its departments and programs, awards competitive grants to support research and creative projects of students working under faculty guidance.
Academic—year awards cover some research expenses, and some summer awards also provide assistance with living expenses. Conference travel grants help fund travel to professional conferences to present research or creative work. See Support for Undergraduate Research Endeavors for information.
Many departments and programs within the college sponsor student organizations. Some are honorary organizations, recognizing students who have achieved distinction within their fields of study. Others provide opportunities for students with common interests to come together for academic, social, career-focused, and service activities that complement classroom experiences. The Weinberg College Student Advisory Board is the primary source of student advice to the dean and the associate dean for undergraduate academic affairs.
Members also serve on several college committees. The board includes representatives from every Weinberg College department and program offering a major or a minor. Weinberg College students are encouraged to study abroad. For example, a political science student might study the European Union in France. The college encourages participation in full-academic-year programs that include extensive study of languages and culture.
The Office of the Provost offers grants for intensive summer foreign language study abroad. As early as the first year, interested students should discuss study abroad plans with their advisers and obtain information from the Global Learning Office. Home Undergraduate Judd A.
