Northwood University is a different academic community. At Northwood, we are deeply committed to the principles of free enterprise, individual freedom, entrepreneurial leadership, and ethics. We welcome students from around the world who are committed to personal responsibility, entrepreneurialism, ethical behavior, and who want to contribute to a more free and prosperous world, by promoting and leveraging the global, diverse, and multi-cultural nature of private enterprise. At Northwood University we live by our Code of Ethics. We are an academic community of students, faculty, and staff who reflect this code through our values of: Freedom Respect Empathy Spirituality Honesty Achievement Integrity Responsibility At Northwood, we know who our students are and we care about them. Our student body is very diverse. Northwood has a large international presence – both at our U.S. locations and abroad. Following graduation, our alumni connect with other alumni who live across the globe. Like many other colleges, Northwood offers high-quality, private, business education. What is different at Northwood is that our faculty are not simply theorists. Yes, our faculty hold the highest academic credentials, yet more importantly, they have proven track records of business success. What do our faculty do? Well, they will certainly push you intellectually and they will make you think differently about our world. Your time at Northwood will be academically challenging, and we promise to help you discover the leader within. When we think about higher education, we must remember that classrooms are not real. They are artificial learning spaces. At Northwood University we know this and that is why we ensure your learning will also take place outside the classroom. In fact, our plan is from the time you arrive at Northwood, to the time you graduate, we must provide multiple opportunities for you to engage in events, competitions, and organizations. We have learned that these practical experiences bring your academic experiences to life. Through them come personal and professional growth, and after you leave Northwood, you will be in a desirable position to launch your career. Finally, it is important to note that Northwood does not seek thousands of students. Rather, we only select individuals who want to become leaders in a global, free market society. If you are ready to stand out from your peers, and if you want to change the world; then we want you at Northwood University!
