Northern State University
A nationally accredited, state-supported institution, Northern State University
was established in 1901. Now having completed its first 100 years, NSU is leading
the way into the new century. Housing the statewide Center for E-Leaning, it is
easy to see why distance delivery technology is a core mission in all degree
programs. Northern’s schools of arts and sciences, fine arts, education and business
offer over 45 majors and 40 minors.
