Norwich University Rook Walking On Campus on Fall Day

Norwich isn’t for everyone, but it's exactly right for you.

We’re not like other schools and you are not like other students. If you’re looking for easy, look elsewhere. But if you’re ready to show up, try hard, and grow into a leader — Norwich is ready for you.

Two paths. One challenge.

You’ve arrived here because you want something more. For over 200 years, Norwich has prepared students to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and meet the future head-on.

Corps of Cadets or Civilian Lifestyle

Whether you join the Corps of Cadets or choose the civilian lifestyle, you’ll gain confidence, discipline, and leadership experience that sets you apart in any career field.

From that first time when you step outside your comfort zone, you’ll discover what you're capable of.


We're for those that seek more than a degree. 

You want to explore ideas and experience education through action. That kind of learning takes initiative, and Norwich is built for it. Here, you’ll take on real projects early, working alongside faculty who bring deep expertise and care about helping you succeed. You’ll learn to think through problems and follow through on solutions, whether you’re designing a structure, writing code, or preparing for clinicals. 

Across every academic program, Norwich gives you space to build confidence through experience and discover what you’re capable of.

We're in it together.

At Norwich, cadets and civilian students share more than a campus — they share challenges, ideas, and experiences that set this place apart. Side by side, you’ll learn from different perspectives, support each other, and build bonds that last.

You’ll find your place quickly, surrounded by people ready to share your drive. From student clubs to campus events, there are countless ways to get involved, push yourself, and make college more than just classes.

Check it out for yourself.

From the day you arrive, Norwich feels different. This is a place where you’re supported, pushed, and encouraged to grow. Students from every background come here with big goals — and help each other chase them. 

Between the clubs, specialty units, athletic teams, and campus-wide events, there’s no shortage of ways to get involved. Find your people. Build your community. And grow together. In getting involved, you'll be making strong connections and growing together.
