NAU is a great university here in Northern Arizona.
While their emphasis is undergraduate education, they also offer graduate programs and research that build from the base on the Colorado Plateau and extend to such national concerns as forest health and bioterrorism. They just received a grant/contract to take part in a genome type project.
They offer a full range of athletics—from NCAA Division I sports to intramurals—and clubs, organizations, and campus events where students can make new friends or enhance their college experience.
NAU offers one of the best educational values available, with resident tuition rates ranking in the bottom third nationwide. Kaplan/Newsweek has called NAU a "hidden treasure," and an institution that "provides maximum personal attention" to students.
