Visiting campus looks a little different these days, but you can still get to know us in a number of ways. We love to show off our campus any way we can!
Each month, we host an online preview day designed to get you acquainted with Northland College at a distance. These events run from 1-3 pm (Central Time), and give you the chance to learn about admissions and financial aid, zoom around campus, and hear from current students—all from the comfort of home!

We’re excited to offer in-person campus visits Monday through Saturday throughout the fall! An in-person visit includes a 45-minute campus tour, a 30-minute meeting with an admissions counselor, and a free t-shirt. Visiting juniors and seniors will also qualify for a $1,000 Visit Grant that’s renewable each year for up to four years.
While Northland’s size and location make for a relatively COVID-safe environment, certain protocols are in place to maintain the health of our community. Registration for an in-person visit must be made 48 hours in advance without exception. Visiting groups are limited to five people or fewer. While on campus, all visitors are expected to practice social distancing and wear a face covering that meets CDC guidelines.
The first few days of your first year can prove to be some of the most important of your college experience. This is why we strive to make these first days as exciting, informative, and unique as possible. Part of Northland’s orientation process includes a student-led three to five day outdoor orientation trip with other incoming students. Trip options include everything from backcountry expeditions to urban exploration.
Northland prides itself on our small class sizes and low student to faculty ration. Northland faculty are more than just teachers. They are mentors who often establish life-long relationships with their students. Your professors will shape the ways in which you see the world, opening your mind to new ideas and ways of thinking. They’ll help you foster connections that prepare you for graduate studies, a successful career path, and a meaningful life after graduation.
The Northland campus culture is laid-back and friendly. We like to think of ourselves as a big family that looks out for one another. Professors, staff, peers, and community members are quick to welcome Northland students into the fold of our north woods community. We know you’ll find your people.
Northland values sustainability. In everything we do, we look at how it will advance sustainability in all of its forms: health, community, culture, environment, energy, and economy. You’ll start to see green living become a part of your everyday life at Northland–from composting to our free ReUse Room.
You’ll have access to unique courses, quality internships, hands-on experiences, and dedicated mentors. We want you to live a rich and meaningful life, while you’re here and after you leave. Which is why we do everything we can to give you access to experiences that will shape your career and your lifestyle choices.
