Northwestern University (NU) is a private research university based in Evanston, Illinois, United States, with other campuses located in Chicago and Doha, Qatar, and academic programs and facilities in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, California.[5][6][7] Along with its selective undergraduate programs, Northwestern is known for its highly ranked Kellogg School of Management, Pritzker School of Law, Feinberg School of Medicine, Bienen School of Music, and Medill School of Journalism.

Northwestern is a large research university with a comprehensive doctoral program, attracting over $650 million in sponsored research each year.[8][9] Northwestern has the tenth-largest university endowment in the United States, currently valued at $10.456 billion.[1]

The University's former and present faculty and alumni include 16 Nobel Prize laureates, 38 Pulitzer Prize winners,[10] 6 MacArthur Genius Fellows,[11] 16 Rhodes Scholars,[12] 65 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences[13] and two Supreme Court Justices.[14] Northwestern's School of Communication is a leading producer of Academy Award, Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning actors, actresses, playwrights, writers and directors.[15]

Northwestern was founded in 1851 by John Evans, for whom the city of Evanston is named, and eight other lawyers, businessmen and Methodist leaders. Its founding purpose was to serve the Northwest Territory, an area that today includes the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota.[16] Instruction began in 1855 and women were admitted in 1869. Today, the main campus is a 240-acre (97 ha) parcel in Evanston, along the shores of Lake Michigan 12 miles north of downtown Chicago. The university's law, medical, and professional schools are located on a 25-acre (10 ha) campus in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood. In 2008, the university opened a campus in Education City, Doha, Qatar with programs in journalism and communication.[17] In 2016, Northwestern opened its San Francisco space at 44 Montgomery St., which hosts journalism, engineering, and marketing programs.[18]

The University is a founding member of the Big Ten Conference and remains the only private university in the conference.[19] The Northwestern Wildcats compete in 19 intercollegiate sports in the NCAA's Division I Big Ten Conference.
