Norwich University is unique among institutions of higher education. No other university combines nearly two centuries of military tradition with a broad range of traditional undergraduate programs. Students on the Northfield campus may enroll in The Corps of Cadets and follow a disciplined military regimen OR join the civilian population who follow the more traditional college lifestyle. Both lifestyles are coeducational; students attend classes and participate in sports and activities together. In keeping with the Norwich mission, the 1700 students are provided many opportunities to develop leadership skills and form a commitment to community service.
