Norwich University’s commitment to bringing together traditional students and corps of cadets students through rigorous academic training, physical sport, and social and residential life develops leaders that go on to impact their communities, professionally and personally. Students at Norwich don’t just learn the practical and theoretical skills that are only relevant for specific jobs. They also develop their integrity, sense of honor, loyalty and adaptability, and critical thinking skills, all of which shape their career goals and personal relationships.

Established in 1819, Norwich University is still deeply connected to its founding mission and values. The school was organized by Captain Alden Partridge, a military serviceman who developed the education system that aimed to bring together civilians and military personnel for academic training. From a merging with Vermont College in 1972 to an adult education program established in 1981 to internship and Peace Corps programs, Norwich University continues to uphold Partridge’s innovative teaching styles and program offerings that strengthen students’ character and academic identity.

Academics at Norwich are based on a four-point strategy that include the following techniques: one-on-one time with professors; the ability to balance social, athletic and academic activities; an emphasis on effective written and oral communication; and classes that are based on hands-on, experiential learning. These principles are instilled in every academic program, from Mechanical Engineering to Criminal Justice to Computer Security and Information Assurance to Nursing to Modern Languages to Prelaw training. Even Norwich’s online graduate programs upholds the one-on-one + balance + communication + experiential = success formula. Online degrees include Master’s degrees in Diplomacy, Military History, Administration, Civil Engineering, Education, Justice Administration, Public Administration, Information Assurance, Nursing and Organizational Leadership.

Though there is a definite distinction between the corps of cadets experience and the traditional student experience, both groups of students are encouraged to socialize on campus. They participate in the same athletic games, clubs, and organizations, and they even eat together at the same dining hall.
