Academic Catalogs

The university catalog is Northern Michigan University's online publication that outlines each program offer at NMU, including degree requirements, course descriptions, and academic standards. 

The catalog also includes a current list of faculty members and their academic credentials.

NMU publishes two university catalogs: one for undergraduate students and another for graduate students.

Past online catalogs are archived in the online catalog. Copies of past catalogs/bulletins that were printed only and are not available online are available for viewing at the NMU Library.
