When We Are Free

A campaign for America’s Free-Enterprise University

A Shared Philosophy

Together, we build a legacy of excellence, where challenges become stepping stones and where every idea holds the potential to shape a brighter future.

Now, More Than Ever, America Needs Northwood University.

Now, More Than Ever, Northwood Needs You.

As we continue to educate our future leaders, Northwood embarks upon a $100 million comprehensive campaign that will provide endowed student scholarships, enhance our teaching capabilities, and instill respect for the transformative power of free enterprise.

Support from those who believe in The Northwood Idea will position Northwood as a distinctive global university for aspiring business leaders who will positively impact communities worldwide.

Northwood’s potential is limitless and occupies a special and unique place in higher education. Those before us built a strong foundation. Upon these sixty years of history, Northwood will build an even more distinct and powerful reputation that will positively impact industry and public policy through education of free-enterprise graduates our global business community requires.
