NORTHWEST CORE GUIDE

Different majors require directed Northwest Core courses, meaning they are required for a specific major’s general education core. Common areas to check for are math, life science, physical science, and social/behavioral sciences, although other areas may have directed requirement as well. For example, Educational Psychology is required for all education majors, so general psychology will count as elective credit.

Please seek advisement or consult the academic catalog for proper course selection.

Some Northwest Core groups have courses that can count in multiple areas. Please note that a course may have more than one Northwest equivalency. Transfer Services will use the equivalency that is in the best interest of the student, but the course may not transfer as more than one course.

SHOW NOTES

social & behavioral sciences

Required - Choose 2 courses from two different disciplines. For example - one economics and one geography course; one psychology and one sociology course. Education majors must complete Educational Psychology.
