Active exploration.  A commitment to teaching. At UM, the two go hand in hand.

As one of the nation’s most active research universities rated by the Carnegie Foundation, UM specializes in innovative thinking and great teaching. You’ll see that combination in the lively courses we offer in more than 180 majors and programs, ranging from accounting to theater arts.

With a student-faculty ratio of 13 to 1, UM offers classes that feature an engaging exchange of ideas. Students work closely with faculty both in their classes and through the many opportunities for undergraduate research. And with our emphasis on "hands on, early on" learning, students experience the connection between classroom ideas and practical applications through real-world projects and activities.
