Northwestern University is a privately owned higher education institution headquartered in Illinois, US. Founded in 1851, the university employs approximately 15,390 individuals. Functioning as an American higher education provider, it operates two campuses located on Lake Michigan: a 240-acre campus in Evanston, minutes north of Chicago, and a 25-acre campus in downtown Chicago. A third campus was established in Doha, Qatar in 2008.
Northwestern University recently welcomed over 2,000 new undergraduate students with Wildcat Welcome events, including the March Through the Arch, as President Mung Chiang, also beginning his first year, encouraged the Class of 2030 ahead of the fall quarter. Also on September 17, 2026, scientists at the university challenged previous assumptions about complex systems, suggesting that networks like power grids and food webs could benefit from more disorder rather than uniform components, leading to greater reliability. This follows new research published on September 16, 2026, by Northwestern University’s Retail Analytics Council and Minty, which revealed that e-commerce marketers plan to direct 63 cents of every new marketing dollar toward AI commerce tools and cashback and savings apps instead of traditional digital advertising. This research was presented at EMARKETER’s The Future of Digital summit in New York City.
