The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.
Northern Michigan University
Northern is the institution of choice in the Midwest for students seeking quality academic programs with individualized attention in a high-tech learning environment. Located in Michigan's spectacular Upper Peninsula, Northern is a dynamic public university offering 180 degree programs to more than 7,000 undergraduate and graduate students. NMU is one of three Michigan public universities to also serve a community college role for its region, which means the breadth of NMU’s academic programs range from one-year diplomas through master’s degrees. NMU is applying to offer its first doctoral program – the Doctor of Nursing Practice – in fall 2014. NMU’s most popular bachelor’s degrees are Health Professions and related programs, Business, Management, Marketing, and related support services; Visual and Performing Arts; Biological and Biomedical Sciences; and Education. Every Northern student gets a ThinkPad or MacBook Pro notebook computer as part of tuition and fees. Students learn to live a life that matters in NMU’s unique Superior Edge service leadership program that focuses on citizenship, diversity awareness, leadership and real-world experience.Fall 2017 First-time Full-time Cohort
