In the heart of pine country at 7,000 feet, Northern Arizona University offers its students an array of academic opportunities often associated with even larger universities. Its main campus in Flagstaff also feels more intimate than you might expect from a university that serves more than 22,000 students—something an urban setting can't boast.

Students describe NAU as 'beautiful,' 'friendly' and a place where 'my professors are helpful.' Students come to NAU for many reasons: opportunities to work with full-time faculty in small classes, internationally known programs, spectacular surroundings, and myriad recreational and cultural activities—all in a moderate, four-season climate.

The emphasis is on undergraduate education, but you'll also find a wide range of graduate programs and research that extend to such national concerns as forest health and bioterrorism. NAU has carefully integrated on-campus education with distance learning, forming seamless avenues for students to earn degrees.
