All Norwich students are bonded by a shared mindset to go beyond their perceived limits, driving their academic success and professional development forward. As the oldest private military college in the nation, and recognized as the Birthplace of ROTC, Norwich educates both military and civilian students with a desire to lead. Students here seek to serve their community, their country, and the world.
