University Catalog

(Previously known as the University Bulletin, changed for 2024-25)

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.

 

Two Catalog Options

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 in the Registrar's Office.
