<p>I’m just wondering if they do because I’d like to include either the fact that they do or don’t have one in my supplement essay somewhere. Thanks.</p>

<p>LOL. I’m sure your supplement essay will be very genuine and heartfelt, and that they were not aware that NU had (or does not have) a core.</p>

<p>Here’s a tip: If you can’t do such simple research on your own, you are going to fail at NU.</p>

<p>Haha.</p>

<p>I don’t have access to a computer at the moment (I’m on my phone) and big sites like NU’s website take FOREVER to load and look through so I figured it would just be easier to ask here (:</p>

<p>It’s not like it’s a crucial part of my essay or anything, I just briefly mention something about not having to go through a tedious core. That’s it. I remember reading somewhere that they don’t have one, but since most schools do have them, I didn’t want to mention something that was wrong. So if they actually do end up having one, I’ll just take that part of my sentence out.</p>

<p>Don’t mind arbiter, he’s a dick sometimes. As for core, northwestern has distribution requirements for WCAS. So there are 6 areas (science, math, lit, etc.) that you have to take two classes in each (off a list of approved courses in each distro area), in addition to freshman seminars. So no specific core classes that everyone takes, but there is no lack of foundation.</p>
