Flagstaff campus

Flagstaff is more than our home, it’s part of who we are. At 7,000 feet in the mountains of northern Arizona, our campus is rooted in natural beauty, academic excellence, and a community that puts students first.

Discover Flagstaff: A four-season playground

With 287 days of sunshine and a climate that brings all four seasons to life, Flagstaff offers an unbeatable outdoor lifestyle. Just a short drive from iconic destinations like the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Snowbowl Ski Resort, it’s no wonder Flagstaff is ranked among the best college towns for outdoor adventure. Here, hiking, skiing, art, music, and great food are all part of your everyday backdrop.

The ultimate college town

Set among pine forests and Arizona’s highest peaks, NAU’s Flagstaff campus combines historic character with modern innovation. Just steps away, downtown Flagstaff brings it all together with local shops, coffee spots, art, music, and a welcoming vibe that feels like home.

Life on campus hits different

From high-fives on the pedway to golden-hour hangs on the Skydome steps, there’s a pulse to life at NAU. This isn’t just where you go to college, it’s where you build friendships, chase passions, and create memories that last long after graduation.
