About Undergraduate Studies:
Pre-Professional Courses
Looking for a fast way to complete Chemistry? Need to pick up a course in Physics? How about a quick Math review?
Undergraduate Studies offers
a quick and convenient way to complete pre-professional
courses in:
- Math Review,
- General Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry,
- Physics,
- Biomechanics.
All courses are conveniently offered every Fall, Winter and Summer trimester. Science courses are offered in an accelerated
format, which allows you to complete one full academic year
of a two-course sequence in only one trimester - just 15
weeks!
Northwestern's new Math Review course provides a quick, yet thorough 3-week review of algebra, trigonometry, geometry and scientific notation in preparation for a college physics course or the GRE (Graduate Record Examination).
NEW COURSE: MATH0001 Math Review (1 credit)
The following accelerated undergraduate pre-professional courses are offered as a two-course sequence (or you may elect to take one of the courses, if you have completed the required prerequisites):
CHEM2048 General Chemistry I (4 credits, includes lab)
CHEM2049 General Chemistry II (4 credits, includes lab)
