Microcolleges are part of a growing movement across the nation, according to Elizabeth Andre. She’s a board member with the nonprofit Northland Collaborative, which is exploring models for such schools.
“We’re excited to continue the aspects of the Northland College mission that really resonated with us,” she said, including “environmental and community-focused” programs.
Microcolleges usually have small enrollments ranging from 28 to 137 students, according to a 2024 white paper by the Springboard Foundation for Whole Person Learning. They largely incorporate work, self-governance and academics.
