About Norwich University

Founded in 1819 as the nation’s first private military college, Norwich University helped pave the way for an innovative model of higher education that has since been adopted by hundreds of colleges and universities. This model combined broad-based liberal arts studies with experiential learning that took students out of the classroom and into the field to observe and apply academic theories in real life.

Norwich’s academic programs reflect the highest standards in teaching, curriculum development, and online education delivery. Norwich enlists academic subject matter experts from across the globe to develop courses that are highly informative and immediately applicable to students’ careers. Norwich faculty members, in turn, bring those courses to life in the Norwich virtual classroom. Norwich’s online learning platform promotes a high level of interactivity among students and faculty.

Norwich offers:

  • Global engagement
  • Clearly definied and shared values
  • Five colleges
