About Norwich University

Tucked into a Green Mountain valley, Norwich University is known for pairing a disciplined Corps of Cadets with a welcoming civilian community. Academics lean practical across sciences, leadership and public service, business, and the liberal arts. Modern labs, a well stocked library, and maker-style spaces back the hands on approach, while advising, tutoring, counseling, and health care keep students supported.

Life here mixes structure with classic college energy. Ceremonies on the parade ground share space with clubs, intramurals, the fitness center, and outdoor adventures on nearby trails, rivers, and winter snow. Career preparation favors real experience, with internships and an alumni network tied to defense, government, and industry. Northfield adds small town Vermont warmth, local partnerships, and plenty of chances to pitch in.
