A message from the President:

Welcome to a University on the Move!
Welcome to Central Michigan University. You have joined more than 28,000 learners whose lives and opportunities are being enhanced as a result of their years spent with us. The university community wants to see all CMU graduates excel in a changing and diverse world, with skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and communication. CMU, with its emerging national recognition as a vigorous and innovative learning community of scholars, is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the region, the state, and beyond.

For more than 110 years, CMU’s strong student-centered commitment to learning and teaching has kept it focused on instructional and curricular quality, first-class resources, opportunities for civic engagement, and service excellence.

The breadth and depth of CMU’s academic and extracurricular programs and activities are impressive. The university offers more than 200 professionally focused undergraduate programs in business administration, communication, fine arts, health professions, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, engineering, teacher education, technology, and more.

CMU’s faculty actively engages students in applied research and creative endeavors to catalyze students’ initiative, intellectual responsibility, and thirst for discovery. Student volunteerism, internships, and cooperative learning experiences are hallmarks of a CMU education. Students at CMU actively pursue specific academic areas of interest on an increasingly diverse campus that fosters an appreciation for, and involvement in, international and global learning, including study abroad.

The personalized learning environment at CMU will prepare graduates for the working world, graduate study, or both. All of CMU’s resources, faculty, and staff are centered on your success. Again, welcome to Central Michigan University – helping make the world a better place in which to live, one student at a time.

Sincerely,

Mike Rao
President
