From our Mount Pleasant home and our more than 20 higher education hubs across North America, our dedicated professors bring industry experience and a student-first approach to teaching.
Our more than 300 programs are packed with opportunities to engage and learn in the field. From day one, students have access to some of the region's most state-of-the-art facilities, including our MakerBot Innovation Center, Biological Station on Beaver Island, and Michigan's newest College of Medicine.
Through hands-on learning, internships and research opportunities alongside faculty who are teachers, mentors and future colleagues, our students graduate with an unmatched drive and confidence that when a problem needs solved, it's a CMU Chippewa who'll step up. That's what We Do.
