Welcome to the Northern Michigan University Undergraduate Catalog!

Use this Bulletin as a guide, in conjunction with an academic advisor, in planning your course of study and in meeting requirements for graduation.


Students at NMU must adhere to either the bulletin of their original matriculation or a more recent one (subject to advisor approval). Please ensure you are referencing the correct Bulletin year for your requirements. Typically, but not always, the most current Bulletin will be the default shown.
