Northfield, VT

Norwich University is unique among institutions of higher education. Others may make the same claim, but no other university combines a military tradition of nearly two centuries, five of the more innovative low- and non-residency programs in higher education, and a broad range of traditional undergraduate degree programs.

Norwich serves three distinct populations on three separate campuses. Students who enroll in the Corps of Cadets follow a disciplined military regime, while civilian students lead a more traditional collegiate lifestyle. Both groups reside on the Northfield campus, attending classes and participating in sports and other activities together. In keeping with its mission, the University provides opportunities for all students to develop leadership skills and a strong commitment to community service.

Adult students are served by a number of programs on the Montpelier and Brattleboro campuses. Both undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in brief or no residency models on campuses dedicated to the adult learner.
