“As a teacher and student of literature, I am committed to the preservation and exploration of stories, and I strive to connect individuals with narratives that comfort, challenge, guide, and, ultimately, place them in the rich complexities of the human experience.”

Alan Brew, Vice President of Academic Affairs & Academic Dean

“I love that Northland College is a small school where you know your students by their names and where you can do your job the way you think it should be done: in depth, giving 100%, expecting the same in return, and reaping the rewards as you see real progress in the students’ growth and development.”

- Michele Small, Ph.D. Professor of English and Modern Languages

We are the only four-year college within Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan,

Princeton Review, Forbes, and Sierra magazines call us one of America’s greenest schools.

You’ll get hands-on experience in whatever

field you choose.

Northland College isn’t a place where you study in isolation from “the real world.” Instead, you spend time working in the field and gaining hands-on experience in whatever program you choose. We live out our values and commitments to the environment and sustainability on a daily basis. This is the real world. Applying what you learn while you learn has lasting benefits for your preparation for graduate school and the world of work. As a Northland student, you will see how your classes give you skills that you may also apply in grant-funded research and service projects.

At Northland, you’ll find that your life as a student and your life as a member of this greater community are interconnected.

A launch pad for success.

Princeton Review, Forbes, and Sierra magazines call us one of America’s greenest schools.

prepare for a career in the near future.”
