4 Reasons to Explore Northland
Our location.
Location is everything and we have it. Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands, and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest; together that’s more than one million acres of public lands—all right in our own backyard. The largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior is our classroom, our playground, and our source of inspiration. Learn more.
OUR MISSION.
Northland is an environmental college that values sustainability. We continue to innovate, expand, and adapt as the world changes and the issues become more complex. In everything we do, we consider how it will advance sustainability in all facets of campus life. Learn more.
Our people.
Northland students are curious, self-motivated, high-achieving, and passionate. They come on a quest for community, knowledge, friendship, and skills. And they find it. For every ten students, there is one professor. That means small classes with professor who love their subject and have time to answer your questions and connect with you. Meet our students.
Free money.

Northland Closeup
Unforgettable Orientation
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.
Faculty Connection
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.
Welcoming Community
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.
Sustainable Living
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.
