The University of Michigan

Founded in 1817, the University of Michigan has stood as the national model for the large public university for more than a century. Today, over 54,000 students on three U-M campuses (Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint) come from all 50 of the United States, and 129 countries around the globe.

The diverse nature of the University’s academic community provides the best possible learning experience for all its students and contributes substantially to U-M’s standing among America’s flagship universities. Several Michigan departments and programs stand at the top of their fields.

The Ann Arbor campus, with more than 39,500 students, offers 6,500 undergraduate and graduate courses each year in 19 schools and colleges. Undergraduate students can choose from more than 225 undergraduate majors and 600 degree programs. Classes range in size from fewer than 10 to several hundred; overall, the student/faculty ratio is 9:1.

Among the strengths of the Ann Arbor campus are its more than 1,000 student clubs and organizations; 25 varsity sports; a dozen galleries and museums; several nature areas, including the 123-acre Nichols Arboretum; and 24 libraries containing more than 7.9 million volumes.

Since 1845, the University has granted more than 640,000 degrees. With nearly 460,000 living degree holders in 160 countries around the world, U-M has one of the nation’s largest alumni bodies.
