Choose your General Education Path

The most inspiring thing about the education you’ll receive at Northland College, and what makes us different from other schools, is the integration of our environmental mission throughout our fields of study.

Throughout the general education program, will be introduced to a wide-range of disciplines. This is key in learning not what to think, but how to think. This approach teaches us all how to be creative, to think critically, and to develop new ideas.

At Northland, we deliver courses in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities that introduce you to new ideas, to new ways of understanding the world, and we challenge you to make connections—with your interests and passions, with your professors and one another, with the natural world, and with communities.

And YOU get to choose which classes you are most interested in. For students who want to focus on a topic and see how it is approached by different disciplines, we offer two unique, first-year programs that are heavily focused on learning outside of the classroom: Superior Connections and Growing Connections.
