<p>can someone tell me how many electives are required to be taken for the computer engineering degree at NU?</p>
<p>[McCormick</a> School of Engineering and Applied Science: Office of Undergraduate Admission - Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/academics/schools/mccormick/index.html]McCormick”>http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/academics/schools/mccormick/index.html)</p>
<p>18 core math, science, and engineering courses
16 major courses
9 humanities/social science/communication courses
5 unrestricted electives</p>
<p>I want to point out that the 2 required communications classes are engineering design and communication (EDC) classes, which are, as the name suggests, both engineering design and communication. Though EDC is really an engineering class.</p>
