With hundreds of stimulating courses, Northwood’s extensive course catalog is intricately designed to fit every future free enterprise leader.
Unlike most university students, Timberwolves start major-specific classes on their first day. This unique feature allows students to validate their interests in a major field of study early, preparing them for real world experience after their first year.
Northwood offers 29 compelling programs to choose from, each with 120 credit requirements that allow students to venture into every corner of their studies. For an expansive list of Northwood courses, visit our Course Search.

*Waitlists: If a section of a class that you need to take is filled, you do have an option of getting on the waitlist. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee registration, so it is important to schedule an additional section as a back-up plan
*Honors classes: You will be able to recognize honors courses by noting the “H” in the section number. The word “Honors” will also be spelled out in the title of the course.
*Contact your academic advisor with any questions regarding your major, course plan, semester schedules, and any issues or questions you have regarding the registration process.
