“Enrolling at UM-Flint meant that I not only finished my bachelor’s in just two years, but it was also an affordable way to get a Michigan degree. More than that, I think the opportunities offered to the students at UM-Flint, in terms of research and professional development, are just unheard of anywhere else.”
