Financing the Cost of Education
A student needing financial aid should begin the process of seeking assistance from all possible sources as early as possible. Financial aid comes in a variety of forms—scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs. Recipients of such assistance are selected on the basis of need, academic performance, or special qualifications. Since funds are limited, students should submit their financial aid applications within the first three months of the calendar year. This is also the best time to apply for outside scholarships. Students receiving financial aid must maintain satisfactory progress toward degree completion as defined in the Student Handbook. Ninety seven percent of the students at Northwestern receive some form of scholarship, grant, work or loan to help with their college costs.

Bachelor’s Degree Programs
This section indicates requirements for all bachelor’s degree programs offered at Northwestern College: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education. Bachelor of Arts programs include a foreign language requirement.
Students in majors offered as Bachelor of Science programs may choose to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree if they meet the foreign language requirement. However, students in majors offered only as Bachelor of Arts programs may not elect to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree.
Students may seek an additional baccalaureate degree but it must be a different degree from the previous one(s) (e.g., Bachelor of Arts versus Bachelor of Science). Additionally, the student must complete a minimum of 30 credits beyond the initial degree in a different major. At least 155 credits are required for graduation with a double degree. All prerequisites, supporting courses, and departmental requirements for each major must be completed. The student should confer with the departments in which the majors are sought and with the Registrar. On the issue of double major, see page 39.

ART & DESIGN
Department of ART & DESIGN The Department of Art & Design aims to teach the production of visual arts within a Christian context, toward the goal of preparing students for professional careers in this field. Strong emphasis is placed upon critical thinking, research, and study in the visual arts, both on and off campus.
The department seeks to achieve the following objectives:
1. To demonstrate knowledge of creative problem-solving, current technology, concepts and terminology, art historical trends, and philosophi- cal foundations of visual art. 2. To demonstrate skill development in the creation of visual art, the conceptualization of ideas, visual and oral communication, and critical and historical writing through the use of current technology. 3. To develop an appreciation of artistic expression, formulate ethical and spiritual values, and exhibit a commitment to the field of art and design.
Design Major – Interactive Emphasis Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
The Design major prepares the student for a career in design. The program provides basic and advanced instruction in the techniques, technology, and critical-thinking strategies necessary for the field of design. Internships in Design are strongly recommended, but it is not possible to guaran- tee placement. Therefore, a senior project may be necessary to supplement the internship experience. The degree is granted upon completion of 125 credits as specified on pages 40–41 (40 credits must be in 3000-or 4000-level courses).

BIBLICAL & THEOLOGICAL STUDIES
Department of BIBLICAL & THEOLOGICAL STUDIES Northwestern College puts the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word at the center of all activities. The Scriptures are the integrating core for all academic programs. This commitment means that (1) the Bible is the most urgent concern of persons who study and work at the College, (2) the Bible provides answers to some of humanity’s basic questions and establishes a theological frame of reference for education at the College, and (3) the Bible defines principles and standards for determining the purpose for which all learning is to be used.
Therefore, the purpose of the Department of Biblical & Theological Studies is to promote the central place of the Scriptures as the theological frame of reference for the curriculum. The department seeks to teach students the Bible as “the whole counsel of God,“ focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, and to train them to interpret and apply biblical content; to help students develop a life submitted to Christ and ordered by biblical ethics so that they can be steadfast spiritually in the midst of life’s incongruities and trials; to equip students to develop a biblical worldview; to expose students to ministry in the church and to the world; and to enhance a climate of love and respect for one another in the learning environment.
Zondervan/Northwestern College Ancient Languages Awards With the intent of inspiring students in their studies, Zondervan Publishing House initiated annual award programs to recognize outstanding achievement in the study of biblical Greek and biblical Hebrew. Northwestern College has entered into a participation agreement with Zondervan, according to which the Biblical & Theological Studies Department establishes selection criteria and the College presents these awards at the yearly Honors Convocation. The winners receive the prize of a Zondervan product (such as the Exhaustive Greek Concordance), a commemorative item (such as a medal), and the recognition of having his/her name engraved on a perpetual plaque displayed in the Berntsen Library. Northwestern has an additional Ancient & Classical Languages Award for an advanced language student each year. For more information, contact the chairperson of the Department of Biblical & Theological Studies.

We encourage students to grow intellectually and spiritually by empowering them to discern significant ideas in their reading, to compose meaningful texts, to conduct scholarly and field research, and to understand and apply linguistic principles. As they synthesize their faith with their discipline, students are prepared to succeed as scholars, writers, teachers, and communicators and to enjoy a lifelong relationship with words.
English Major Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
The English major is divided into four concentrations: literature, writing, literature and writing, and linguistics.
Linguistics Concentration (B.A.)
The linguistics concentration prepares students to pursue graduate work in linguistics, as well as careers in fields such as intercultural studies, translation, anthropology, and comparative studies. In the linguistics concentration, students sharpen their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills as they examine core areas of linguistic studies (e.g., phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, theory of second language acquisition, and sociolinguistics). Students will complete one summer of course work at SIL International at the University of North Dakota (SIL-UND). Electives allow students to pursue the subfields that most interest them. The senior capstone course in linguistics enables students to apply their knowledge as they participate in field research. The degree is granted upon completion of 125 credits as specified on pages 40–41 (40 credits must be in 3000- or 4000-level courses).

MATHEMATICS & ENGINEERING
Department of MATHEMATICS & ENGINEERING Science, mathematics, and engineering exert more influence on our society than ever before. Advances of the past century have been truly astounding – consider manned flight in the atmosphere and outer space, the development of computers and their applications, and the fabrication and use of new materials, to name a very few. Mathematics was one of the very first subjects in the formal curriculum of western universities, and the application of mathematics, facilitated by computers, is poised to expand exponentially in the future. Artisans and craftsmen of long ago were the forerunners of modern engineers, who now employ mathematics and creativity to solve problems in modern societies.
The Department of Mathematics & Engineering offers a degree in mathematics, and students may pursue degrees in engineering in cooperation with the University of Minnesota. The sciences, mathematics, and engineering, like all other disciplines at Northwestern College, are presented in the context of a Biblical worldview, which is integrated into every course.
NOTE: WHEN A STUDENT RECEIVES A “U” GRADE FOR THE LAB PORTION OF A SCIENCE COURSE, HE/SHE RECEIVES CREDIT FOR THE COURSE, BUT THE COURSE DOES NOT COUNT FOR LABORATORY SCIENCE CREDIT IN CORE CURRICULUM.
Engineering Dual Degree Program COOPERATIVE PROGRAM WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
Northwestern College has a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. In this program a student typically completes a prescribed three-year course of study with either an applied mathematics or engineering sciences emphasis at Northwestern College, transfers to the Institute of Technology, and completes the requirements for an engineering degree there. Although this usually requires two years of full-time study at the University, some additional course work, such as summer school courses, may be required. Upon completion of the engineering degree requirements at the University, a student earns a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics or engineering sciences from Northwestern College.
The emphasis that a student elects to pursue, either applied mathematics or engineering sciences, will depend on the student’s interests and the requirements for a particular engineering discipline. Students interested in the Dual Degree programs are strongly encouraged to meet with a Northwestern College engineering advisor for guidance.
To enroll in any PHY or EGR course, students must receive a grade of “C” or better in all prerequisite courses. Courses with grades below “C” must be repeated. Engineering Sciences Emphasis

PSYCHOLOGY
Department of PSYCHOLOGY “Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them.” – Psalm 111:2
Psychology is the study of God’s greatest work—humankind. The discipline of psychology seeks to understand the nature of human development, motivation, thinking, learning, and emotion. An accurate picture of man must include the study of Scriptures; therefore, the study of psychology is made complete by integrating it with biblical principles. Furthermore, the study of psychology enables students to see themselves as persons of worth and significance. The study of psychology has practical value for Christian service. As we better understand people, we are more effective in our ability to minister to them.

Off-Campus Programs American Studies Program Since 1976, the American Studies Program has served as an experiential learning laboratory for students committed to connecting their faith to public affairs. More than 2000 students have come to Washington and nearly 500 alumni currently work in the D.C. metro area in a variety of professional fields—private and public, for-profit and non-profit. Each student enrolls in the program’s two practicum courses: Internship and Topics in Leadership & Vocation. Students have the option of enrolling in a one-credit Professional Mentorship course. In addition, students apply to either the Public Policy Initiatives track or the Global Humanitarian Enterprise track. The Public Policy Initiatives track equips and supports students in their analysis of a pressing public policy issue. Each student produces original research by engaging area experts and practitioners off-site and in the classroom as they investigate the local, national, and global factors that influence policy-making in Washington, D.C. The Global Humanitarian Enterprise track focuses on partnership initiatives taken by leaders in commercial, governmental, and non-governmental organiza- tions as they explore the impact they can achieve by collaborating to address issues of sustainable development worldwide. Students earn 15–16 semester hours of credit.

Australia Studies Centre Since Spring 2004, the CCCU has partnered with the Wesley Institute in Sydney, Australia to offer the Australia Studies Centre. Throughout the semester, students study theology, global justice issues affecting Australia, Indigenous cultures and the arts. Every student is required to take the courses “The View from Australia: Issues in Religion, Politics, Economics & Cultural Values” and “Indigenous History, Cultures & Identity. “Ad- ditionally, students choose electives in theology/ministry, music, drawing/ graphic design, dance and/or drama. Home stays, service learning and travel around Australia are important components of the ASC. Students observe Australia’s beautiful landscape, live in the cosmopolitan melting pot of Sydney, connect with the poor of Sydney’s multi-cultural ghettos, and engage the political capital Canberra and its power players. Students also come to know the traditions of Aboriginal people during an Outback excursion and spend the last week of each semester traveling to New Zealand to meet with Maori people. ASC students earn 16–18* semester hours of credit. See bestsemester.com for details.

Additional Learning Resources Service-Learning Project All students are required to fulfill 35 hours in a service-learning project to marginalized people in Sydney throughout the semester. This experience is both an academic exercise and designed to foster connections to the community. Opportunities for placement include inner-city youth programs, homes for the physically and mentally disabled, aged-care facilities, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and evening coffee and food vans for the homeless community in Sydney. The ASC believes that the only way to effectively engage in meaningful art or ministry is by first following the example of Jesus and spending time with the those who exist outside the powerful social circles of the day. The service experience is as an integral part of the ASC program and is as essential as any of the academic courses.
Friday Discussion Groups, Classes and Excursions Fridays are set aside for the experiential piece of the core classes. ASC students participate in local field trips, attend discussion groups and hear special speakers. All Friday sessions are mandatory. They will be exciting and stimulating experiences. The goal of the Friday discussions and excursions is to help students view aspects of Australian culture which they may not engage with on their own.
Travel ASC students travel to the following places: • The Australian capital city of Canberra (two days) in order to engage in foreign affairs and policies, as well as public service officers from a number of countries. • The Outback (six days) in order to connect with Australian land and environment. • Auckland, New Zealand (one week) in order to broaden awareness of indigenous people, especially the Maori people.
All travel is subject to change, based upon safety considerations and course modifications.
