University of Michigan

The University of Michigan is one of the nation’s leading public research universities. With 19 schools and colleges, hundreds of specialized laboratories and research centers, and over 7,000 faculty, U-M provides quality education — the Michigan Difference — to 38,000 undergraduate and 17,000 graduate students. Its 450,000 living alumni extend Michigan’s knowledge and leadership around the globe.

Research is at the core of the University’s mission and is conducted in every school and college. Total annual research expenditures exceed $750 million, and more than half the research occurring on the Ann Arbor campus is in the life sciences. Michigan’s long tradition of boundary-breaking interdisciplinary work extends beyond the academic units. There are several large-scale research institutes focused on long-term interdisciplinary problems, several research museums, and a 7 million volume library system that is among the world’s leaders in digitizing collections.
