Discover an education all about you in a community all about we

At Northwestern University, we're committed to fostering a culture of innovation and discovery for more than 22,000 students on campus. The University's diverse undergraduate programs in the arts, business, communications, engineering, sciences, social sciences, and so much more are led by renowned faculty members, allowing students to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen fields in an academically supportive environment. Our campus buzzes with activity, offering a myriad of chances to make strides toward personal growth and engagement with the greater community. Whether you're participating in student organizations, attending cultural events, or cheering on our Wildcats at athletic competitions, there's always something happening at Northwestern.

Our community celebrates diversity and fosters inclusion
Diversity isn’t always a given, even at a truly global university. So at Northwestern, we work diligently every day to ensure that our campus remains a place of inclusion where every student, faculty, and staff member is welcomed wholeheartedly and without reservation into the Wildcat family. A diverse student body makes for more thoughtful students—who ultimately become more thoughtful leaders guiding the way to a better world. 

Our 8,000+ undergraduates come from all 50 states and more than 75 countries around the world. But diversity isn’t just about numbers. At Northwestern, we believe diversity of background, identity, belief, interest, and expertise are essential to undergraduate learning and a healthy society. We also believe in cultivating and convening a community of open-minded individuals who are eager to benefit from and contribute to a wider world of perspectives represented on campus.

Education, enrichment, and engagement
The Department of Campus Inclusion and Community works with the university community to cultivate inclusive learning environments. This is done through intentional engagement with differences across and within various identities. The department's new model includes Student Enrichment Services, Social Justice Education, and Multicultural Student Affairs. Students can also get involved in numerous groups focused on culture and diversity, including the Minority Association of Pre-med Students, the Rainbow Alliance, the Asian Pacific American Coalition, the Muslim-cultural Students Association, and so much more.
