Welcome Parents
Northland College is a unique liberal arts college with a focus on sustainability and environmental issues. Class sizes are small, giving students the chance to work side-by-side with passionate faculty who are experts in their areas of study. Our distinctive academic program is known for its integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to general education and for innovative academic majors. This deeply practical approach produces graduates who are problem-solvers and well prepared for graduate school or careers in the growing “green” sector of our economy.
It’s easy to feel at home at Northland College. Ashland is a safe, friendly community and the natural beauty of the region makes for both a four season recreational paradise and applied laboratory for study.
Northland College pioneered environmental liberal arts in 1971. Since then, our visionary approach to academics has helped thousands of graduates make a difference in the world.
