The 2011 College Guide by Washington Monthly lists Northland College among the top 250 liberal arts colleges in the United States. The magazine says it attempt to offer an alternative to other college guides by evaluating schools' contribution to the public good in the categories of social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and Ph.D.s), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).

The 4–4–1 Academic Calendar
A unique element in Northland's academic program is the calendar. The fall and winter sessions are each four months long and consist of a minimum of 65 class days. The spring session is one month long and consists of 20 class days. Full-time students must earn 12 to 17 course credits during each of the fall and winter sessions and 3 to 5 course credits during spring session. Fall and winter sessions allow time for maturation of ideas in a program of varied courses. The shorter spring session provides an opportunity for concentration through seminars, independent study and research, and small discussion groups. It also provides opportunities for off-campus experiences such as international study and field experiences.
