What to Expect at Norwich

The classroom as think tank

At Norwich, learning and doing are two sides of the same coin. Our programs are structured so that students don’t just study academic theories; they apply them in their own organizations, share their experiences in class, and gain insight into how the same theories play out differently in different work settings.
