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 poet uses the results of science and philosophy, and generalizes their widest deductions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Thinking is seeing.... Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“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)
