Recognizing the value of special programs for individuals with varied backgrounds or abilities, Northwestern has established the General Studies Program leading to a Bachelor of General Studies degree as a CALL program degree. The CALL program is a "fast track" method by which adult learners can complete a degree in a shorter period of time. Courses are offered in 4 and 8-week sessions which allow the student to concentrate on one or two courses at a time. Accelerated learning can be accomplished by using previously earned credit; transfer credit; challenge tests, CLEP tests; military credit, credit for college-level learning from life and work experiences; credit from other training or educational pursuits; and other related activities. The online format provides flexibility and convenience for the adult student.
The General Studies degree program provides flexibility to allow the student to adapt a degree program to particular interests, background, time limitations, and ultimate career goals. It is especially appropriate for a mature person who has, as a result of various educational and work experiences, a clear focus and strong commitment to a particular course of study.
The Bachelor of General Studies degree may also be completed entirely online in a regular semester format. In addition, Northwestern offers eight other Bachelor’s degree programs, 15 Master’s degree programs, and 3 certifications which can also be completed totally online.
