Welcome to Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies

Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies offers a broad range of master's degree, bachelor's degree and certificate programs that enable you to advance your career.

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. Take advantage of the convenience of evening classes on campus in Evanston and Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood and at our Chicago Loop location at 210 South Clark Street. SCS also offers four fully online graduate programs. You'll have access to the resources of 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 state-of-the-art facilities. Our academic advisers provide individual guidance to help you map out a plan and find the program and courses that suit your needs.

We encourage you to explore our programs and attend an information session — held regularly in Chicago and Evanston. You can also request information online and contact us to schedule an appointment with an adviser.
