Think differently. Live differently.

Learn differently.

Why settle for typical when you can have more?

Faculty are the heart of Northland College. They place a priority on teaching excellence at the undergraduate level. Our faculty hold top academic credentials and share a passion for teaching, the environment, and sustainable lifestyles. Northland faculty take teaching beyond the lecture hall to the real world. They have a commitment and talent for helping you succeed academically, personally, and in your chosen career.

Alan Brew, Vice President of Academic Affairs & Academic Dean “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.”

Northland College is known for graduates who think differently and live differently. That’s no accident. It happens because Northland faculty help you learn differently.

“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

Northland faculty hold advanced degrees from leading universities worldwide: Stanford University Brown University University of Wisconsin-Madison University of Potsdam (Germany) Purdue University Columbia University Cornell University University of Nice (France)

We are the only four-year college within Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, North and South Dakota to achieve a Gold STARS institutional rating on sustainability performance.

You’ll get hands-on experience in whatever field you choose.

A launch pad for success.

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.

“I have been able to gain knowledge of various types of field and work practices that will help me prepare for a career in the near future.”

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