    Located on the shores of Lake Superior amongst the natural beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Northern Michigan University has been fueling students’ quest for knowledge and adventure since 1899. NMU is a dynamic four-year, public university that has grown its reputation based on its award-winning leadership programs, cutting-edge technology initiatives and nationally recognized academic programs.
