GENERAL COURSE LIST

Do other classes count? Northwestern offers many other classes which may count toward SHC. Students should especially keep in mind Junior Year Tutorials and Senior Linkage Seminars. Students can petition to count these and other classes. Two rules of thumb prevail: 1) the class cannot be a science class that offers a narrow, problem-set approach, and 2) the class must treat science, medicine, or technology in context. Rulings on these petitions are made by the SHC program committee, which also periodically reviews this list of approved courses.
