A minimum Northwestern cumulative GPA of 2.00.

A maximum of 50% of program credits may be earned by transfer, examination, and/or prior learning credit.

When an academic discipline offers an undergraduate certificate and also a major, minor, and/or concentration:

• Students may not concurrently pursue an undergraduate certificate and a major/minor/concentration in the same academic discipline.
• Students who have been awarded an undergraduate certificate may apply all of the credits toward a subsequent major/concentration/minor.
• Students will not be awarded an undergraduate certificate once a Bachelor’s degree with a major, minor, and/or concentration in the same academic discipline has already been awarded.

Students who have already been awarded a Bachelor’s degree and subsequently return to pursue a different academic discipline that is offered as a concentration, minor, or undergraduate certificate must comply with the current requirements but may declare either the minor or the undergraduate certificate (concentrations are not stand-alone but rather part of a major).
