This is the perfect time for anyone still undecided about their college choice or contemplating a career change to take that first step at Northland,” shares Director of Enrollment Management and Admissions Nicki Carlson, “At Northland, we offer class flexibility to really make college accessible to everyone. That combined with affordability sets Northland apart from other schools.”

This opportunity will help students and their families gather advice and have their questions answered on the college admissions and enrollment process.

“In the current climate, it is even more important that students and families research all of the educational possibilities available to them,” states Ben Hoffman, Northland Director of Advising and Registrar. “There are multiple class delivery options–in person, online, hybrid, hyflex–available this fall. Minnesota State Week is the perfect opportunity to explore all of these and learn how their career goals and more can be met at Northland.”
