Northwood University is a private institution. Founded in 1959, it operates as a nonprofit educational organization with a focus on business, management, and entrepreneurship. The university has multiple campuses in the United States, including Michigan, Florida, and Texas, and emphasizes a student-centered approach with small class sizes.
Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, Northwood relies on tuition, donations, and private support. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs tailored to career readiness, often incorporating hands-on learning experiences. Its private status allows for greater autonomy in curriculum design and institutional policies.
