Bachelor of Philosophy

The School of Professional Studies at Northwestern University offers a range of part-time undergraduate programs, including Bachelor of Science degrees in Enterprise Leadership, Strategic Communication, Social Sciences, and Health Sciences. Students can also pursue a Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) or a Bachelor of Science in General Studies (BSGS) through the Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. The BPhil degree requires proficiency in a foreign language, while the BSGS focuses on a broader liberal arts education. Each program requires the completion of 45 units, including core courses, major requirements, and electives. The curriculum emphasizes writing skills, distribution requirements across humanities, sciences, and social sciences, and offers flexibility for part-time students. This structure allows students to tailor their education to their interests and career goals while balancing other commitments.
