Mission  
School mission: Northern Arizona University, a university with a personal touch, offers small classes with full-time professors who know their students and a staff committed to helping students succeed.

Almost all first-year students live on campus. Students participate in a wide range of intramurals, clubs and organizations. NAU is located in sunny, beautiful Flagstaff, with a four-season climate and a population of 62,000.
