Northwestern University

Excellence has been Northwestern University’s goal since its nine founders met in 1850 in a room above a hardware store in Chicago, Illinois. That group — a physician, three attorneys, two businessmen, and three clergymen — aimed to establish a university “of the highest order of excellence” to serve the people of an area known then as the Northwest Territory.
That vision quickly came to fruition, and today Northwestern enjoys a position as one of the country’s leading universities, with 11 academic divisions located on two lakefront campuses in Evanston and Chicago and our new campus in Qatar.

The University has approximately 2,500 full-time faculty, 16,000 full-time students, and an annual budget of almost $1.25 billion. Northwestern’s vision of excellence now extends far beyond the old Northwest Territory through the accomplishments of its alumni and by virtue of a distinguished faculty and highly-selective student body drawn from across the nation and around the world.
