Alumni Dependent Tuition Program

Send your children to Northern.

Dependents of out-of-state NMU Alumni pay in-state tuition rates. By graduating from Northern, you earned a very special benefit.  Your dependents can attend NMU at rates comparable to in-state tuition rates.

It doesn't matter whether you live in Kokomo, Kewaunee, Keokuk, Kodiak or Katmandu!  All that matters is that you hold an associate, baccalaureate or graduate degree from NMU.
