University of Michigan - Flint

There are many factors that set academics at University of Michigan-Flint apart. It’s the freedom of choice. To be challenged. To express yourself. To be heard. To follow your passion. This is academics at University of Michigan-Flint:

• Choices: We offer more than 100 different programs of study in our College of Arts & Sciences and three professional schools: the School of Education & Human Services; the School of Health Professions & Studies; and the School of Management. This means you’ll have the opportunity to specialize in your area of study and, through course work in our General Education Program, you’ll build a solid foundation across a range of subjects (we’re talking English, fine arts, humanities, and the sciences) that will give you a better understanding of how everything is interrelated in the world.
  
  
• Hands-on: Apply what you’re learning in the real world. See examples of what our students are doing in the classroom: In our Marketing Applications course (BUS 438), students work with local businesses to assess the organization's specific marketing issues and offer recommendations. Whether you are  concentrating in Business or majoring in Chemistry, University of Michigan-Flint offers hands-on opportunities for students of all academic interests.  Visit the webpage of your major for more information about your program’s coursework.
  
  
• Connected: This is how you’ll find our faculty, both inside and outside the classroom. They’re connected to you and will serve as your challengers and supporters, and connected to the community around them, which helps when you’re looking for a career after graduation.
  
  
• Engaged: Our Honors Program takes students across the country and around the world for an academic experience that gives new meaning to the word “engaged.”  Take Marcella Luercio,  for example. Through the Honors Program, she was able to take her passion for Biology even further by providing demonstrations of the biology laboratory for campus tours.  Marcella’s work for the Molecular Biology Club and involvement on volunteer projects, including fundraising for breast cancer, volunteering for Family Math Night, and teaching children chemistry during National Chemistry Week, are just a few examples of her involvement on campus and in the community. She is also a mentor for inner-city elementary school children and has worked with habitat for Humanity, among many other altruistic projects.
