About Norwich University

Why Consider Norwich University?

The American System of Education began at Norwich University. So, you could say they’ve always been educational innovators and they keep right on doing it today. In fact, they were first for many illustrious choices they’ve made. Examples of this include: In 1974 Norwich admitted women to the Corps of Cadets – a bold move. The right move. Norwich University was also one of the first US schools to admit international students. In 1819 NU was the first private university to teach engineering. Other schools concentrated on classical studies but the nation really needed the country building innovations of engineers. Their collegiate military band was the first military band in the nation in 1820 and remains the oldest to date. Best of all, NU continues to build the nation. Their graduates are actively making the country better. Current graduates include the former CEO of NBC, the CEO of the nation’s most prominent accounting and consulting firm, a partner in one of the world’s premier brokerage and investment houses, as well as the former Chief of Staff of the Army.
