Visionary by Nature

Are you independent-minded? Do you view the world differently than your class mates and often find yourself on the road less traveled? Do you stand up for what you believe in? Are you passionate about life and curious about everything? If so, we may be the place for you.

Northland College combines a strong liberal arts curriculum with a focus on the environment. We believe that our relationship with the environment gives us the skills and courage necessary to act as responsible citizens in a globally interdependent world.

Located in Northern Wisconsin, next to Lake Superior and nearly one million acres of the Chequamegon National Forest, Northland College provides unique experiential learning opportunities that can't be offered elsewhere. Northland College is Visionary by Nature. Are you?
