Northern Arizona University

Northern Arizona University has a student population of 21,352 at its main campus in Flagstaff and at more than 35 sites across the state.

With its solid reputation as a university with all the features of a large institution but with a personal touch, NAU carefully balances teaching, scholarship and service with a faculty and staff dedicated to each students’ success.

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.
