    Overview:

    Chartered in 1895, Northern Illinois University ( NIU ) is a student-centered, regional public research institution with a diverse and international student body of approximately 17,000 students. Located 65 miles from downtown Chicago, in DeKalb, Illinois, NIU is a thriving community of dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, local residents and friends. Together, we support the goal of providing upward mobility to our students as well as the opportunity to make an enduring impact on our future.

    NIU has a long, rich tradition of academic excellence with a breadth of programmatic offerings that support the academic aspirations of our students. Our nationally and internationally recognized faculty are not only dedicated to advancing their academic disciplines, but, in collaboration with NIU staff, are also focused on providing meaningful curricular and co-curricular experiences that prepare NIU students to be successful in achieving their future goals. NIU is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Research University/High Research Activity and a Carnegie Engaged University. NIU offers baccalaureate, master's, doctoral and law degrees across more than 40 academic departments and seven colleges.

    NIU has a fiercely proud alumni base of well over 240,000 and boasts accomplished careers in a diverse array of fields and professions. They primarily reside in the northern Illinois region, creating dynamic professional networks for NIU students and faculty, and providing economic vitality to the region and state. Proximity to Chicago and its suburbs make NIU a diverse community that celebrates the lived experiences each student, faculty and staff bring to campus and the learning environment. Huskies value the ideas and insights every person has to offer, and we discover our commonalities by embracing and discussing our differences. We grow from challenging one another, and we're strong because of the way that we support one another. Most importantly, we value a sense of pride in being a Huskie and belonging to the Huskie family.
