About

Founded in 1892, northland college is the first college in the country to fully integrate an environmental focus with its liberal arts curriculum. Located on the south shore of LAKE superior, surrounded by northern forests, we inspire students to explore the fundamental interconnections between nature, place, and people. Our innovative, interdisciplinary learning approach fosters dynamic educational experiences, research, and partnerships that extend well beyond the classroom. We believe that understanding and addressing complex environmental and social challenges requires inclusion of diverse perspectives, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Together, we empower students and our broader community to ACT with integrity and courage to create a more sustainable and just future.
