Our graduates build upon their Norwich educations to launch or grow careers and make outsized contributions to their communities, the nation, and the world.

Norwich University is located in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, only 20 minutes from the state capital, Montpelier, and three hours from Boston or Montreal. It is a private institution nestled in a rural setting with a campus size of 1,200 acres.
