Welcome to Northwood University
(Return to the Home Page)

My colleagues and I are proud of our university and honored that you have chosen to be part of the Northwood family.  Ours is a unique institution and educational experience.  Northwood University was founded on a set of beliefs and values that overall, favor a society based on unchanging values of individual choice, individual effort, and individual responsibility.  We endorse free enterprise and the competitive market for ideas and things as a way to ensure that.  To that end, this handbook will be one of the many tools that you will be able to utilize in order to help you fully develop academically and socially during your pursuit of a degree.

Northwood believes that education is never something that one person can do to another.  It is, rather, something two people do together.  This means that an educational institution is, primarily, a facilitator of knowledge.  Northwood University serves this function by bringing together a unique collection of people, who can change students' lives.  [. . .] Familiarize yourself with some of the people, places and events that will prepare you for both the opportunities and challenges that await you in and outside of the classroom.  [. . .] The Northwood Idea is all about the process of change and the challenging and rewarding experiences that await you.  We thank you for making an investment in yourself by selecting Northwood University.
