“I
firmly believe that we can learn some of
life’s most important lessons from each
other. The more varied the perspectives
represented, the richer our education.
Our differences — whether they be the
academic questions that engage us, age,
economic background, gender, or race, to
name just a few — bring a buoyancy to
our campus community and help create the
intellectual vitality that makes
Michigan internationally renowned.”
Mary Sue Coleman
President of the
University of Michigan
 n
education
from the
University of
Michigan provides students with endless possibilities. Undergraduate students can
choose from over 226 programs of study and over
40,000 courses in 12 top-ranked undergraduate
schools and colleges. The university’s
commitment to diversity allows students to
flourish academically and socially, and prepares
them for opportunities anywhere in the world.
Special Programs: Michigan
Learning Communities (MLCs) are groups of
students and faculty who come together through
common intellectual interests and shared goals.
Those interests can range from community service
to theoretical mathematics to lab research to
communication arts. MLCs give students the
flexibility to utilize the resources of the
university within a close-knit community with
personal attention from faculty. MLC
opportunities include: the Women in Science and
Engineering Program, the Honors Program,
University Mentorship Program, the Residential
College, the Health Science Scholars Program, and the Undergraduate Research
Opportunity Program (UROP). For more information

The First-Year Seminar Program provides students with small class sizes
(typically twenty students or less) taught by
faculty in a variety of academic disciplines.
This unique educational experience is open to
all first-year students and usually requires no
advanced preparation or prerequisite classes.
Students who participate in a first-year seminar
can develop critical thinking and discussion
skills and meet with faculty members on a more
personal basis. For more information, see
www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/students/resources/learning/fys.
Campus Resources: The
Comprehensive Studies Program (CSP) offers
students in the College of |
Literature,
Science, and the Arts the chance to be a part of
a community of scholars who plan, study, learn,
and share experiences and work together to fully
explore the college experience and attain the
highest academic goals and success. Program
components include academic advising and
personal counseling, tutorial services,
intensive course sections, a mentorship program,
and career-oriented work study programs.
The Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI) is a unit of
Student Affairs that promotes and provides
services to build an environment in which all
students can develop a better understanding and
appreciation of the cultural diversity and
multiculturalism represented at the University.
Student Organizations: There
are almost 1000 student
organizations encompassing all kinds of
interests: student government, social service
and activism, fraternities and sororities,
marching band and singing groups, athletics,
writing and publishing, and more. Whatever your
interests are, there’s sure to be a group for
it.
