What Students Are Saying

The academics are very good and the teachers really like to help you when in need. There are great opportunities for tutoring and most classes have TAs along with them to help with study sessions if you need it.
Kaitlin from Skokie, IL
NMU professors are rather fair when it comes to testing and homework. As long as you do the work assigned, you should be prepared for anything they want to test you on. Show up to class, pay attention, and put in some effort and you'll be golden.
Amanda from Sterling Heights, MI
I am applying for the Nursing Program. It is very difficult to get in. I had to keep my GPA around a 3.8 to compete with other student who are also applying.
Cindy from Delano, MN
Your teachers help you when you need it. Your friends also help you with your classes.
Shellie from Reese, MI
It's a joke at Northern that the 'n' stands for knowledge. However, I have had amazing professors and a great time learning. It's not pull you hair out difficult, but there is a challenge.
Jamie from Wyoming, MI
The classes are challenging but not impossible. Study a lot and work hard. Your grade will reflect the work you put in.
