Welcome to Northwestern University's School of Continuing Studies!
The School of Continuing Studies offers a broad range of educational
programs that allow you to take the next step in your life.
Perhaps you want to further your education with a degree or
a certificate; maybe you are preparing for new career challenges
and opportunities; or you might simply want to explore a new
interest. The School of Continuing Studies is prepared to be
with you every step of the way.
We are ready to be your education partner for life. From
our certificate and bachelor's degree programs to our
master's degree and new professional development programs,
Northwestern's School of Continuing Studies has a program
to match your needs and interests, no matter where you are
in your education or life.
Classes are taught by some of the University's most respected
and talented teachers - scholars and professionals who value
the diversity, energy, and creativity of our students. At
Northwestern you will enjoy much more than the convenience
of taking classes on one of our two lakefront campuses (in
Evanston and in downtown Chicago, near the Water Tower) or
at our new downtown Chicago Loop location at 105 West Adams
Street. SCS gives you access to resources available only at
a world-renowned center for learning: comprehensive library
collections (Northwestern's is the 10th-largest private university
library in the nation); innovative technology in and out of
the classroom; labs, studios, and other facilities of the
caliber you'd expect to find at a top university. And our
academic advisers give you the sort of personal attention
you need to take your next step.
The mission of the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) is
to extend the resources of Northwestern University to undergraduate
and graduate students whose lives include significant professional
and personal commitments that place limitations on their schedules
and affect the pace at which they may achieve their educational
goals. Consistent with Northwestern's dedication to excellence,
SCS makes distinguished teaching available to nontraditional
students and, to the greatest extent possible, provides access
to the University's other resources, such as libraries, laboratories,
recreational facilities, and events. The primary goal is to
become a lifelong educational partner for both alumni and
friends of Northwestern University.
Our Web site offers program information,
handbook resources for students and
faculty and staff, course
listings and descriptions, online and
downloadable application forms, a calendar
of upcoming events, and current press releases. You may also
contact us for more information or
to schedule an appointment with an advisor.
