Science and Mathematics
Northwestern offers accredited bachelor of science degrees in traditional and applied mathematics, mathematics education, biology, biochemistry, and engineering sciences.
Northwestern also has a cooperative dual-degree program with the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology. In this program, students complete three years of study (on average) at Northwestern in either applied mathematics or engineering sciences. Students then transfer to the University of Minnesota to complete the requirements for a focused engineering degree.

Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or mathematics:
“The most useful and honorable science and occupation for a woman is the science of housekeeping. I know some that are miserly, very few that are good managers.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Imagination could hardly do without metaphor, for imagination is, literally, the moving around in one’s mind of images, and such images tend commonly to be metaphoric. Creative minds, as we know, are rich in images and metaphors, and this is true in science and art alike. The difference between scientist and artist has little to do with the ways of the creative imagination; everything to do with the manner of demonstration and verification of what has been seen or imagined.”
—Robert A. Nisbet (b. 1913)
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
