As Northland College students consider their options, we want to extend a warm invitation to continue the educational journey at UW-Superior. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and are dedicated to providing the support and resources needed to succeed.
To be of further service, we have created a teach-out agreement approved by Northland College and the Higher Learning Commission for students to transfer to UW-Superior and finish the degree they have started. As the nearest four-year university to Northland College, UW-Superior serves the same geographic region and has a shared commitment to intellectual growth and career preparation within a liberal arts tradition. While this teach-out agreement is specifically for students in 10 majors, we are also prepared to work with students in other programs to develop an individualized program of study that meets their needs.
We will work with you to maximize the number of credits that can be applied toward your degree at UW-Superior.
Exclusive $2,500 scholarships available for Northland students transferring to UW-Superior with a 2.75 GPA or higher.
