Are you a high school student interested in studying music, art, theatre, dance, and more at Northern Michigan University?
Join us for Major for a Day!
This is a FREE event where students are invited to spend the day in workshops that help them learn what our university programs are like! Many workshops are hands-on and quite interactive. Our goal is to help high school students understand what it would be like to study in one of our departments at Northern Michigan University.
The day features class sessions, we provide light refreshments for breakfast and a full lunch at Northern Lights Dining for all high school students who attend.
