Read this again: [Undergraduate Registration Requirement Summary: Office of the Registrar - Northwestern University](Undergraduate Registration Requirement: Office of the Registrar - Northwestern University)

Requirement for a first-time freshman to earn a 4-year degree: 9 quarters in residence at NU.

For the purpose of counting toward the URR, a “quarter at Northwestern” requires:

Being under the supervision of Northwestern faculty member(s),


AND

Registering for and completing classes worth at least 2.00 units of credit in a term,


AND

Receiving any of the following grades in credit-bearing classes: A, B, C (including pluses and minuses), D, F, P, N, X, Y, K or W.


Please note that most study abroad and transfer credit does not count toward either requirement of the URR. There is one exception: Completion of Northwestern study abroad programs that offer courses with Northwestern course numbers and the “-SA” course suffix counts toward the URR as long as all other provisions are met.

I’ll re-iterate: if you take any time to do co-op, study abroad, etc., you will need at to complete at least a portion of a fourth year at NU.

Edit: Of course, this is only what’s available on the NU site, and should be confirmed with the registrar/other appropriate offices.

Edit again: I’m not sure whether it’s possible to fit courses to fill all degree requirements into 3 years. It probably is, but I’m not in the mood to draw it all out.
