Central Michigan University’s research, scholarly, and creative contributions radiate widely from its home – Mount Pleasant, Michigan – a relatively small city with a big heart and vivid presence.

A Carnegie-classified doctoral research institution with distinctive outreach through more than 60 education centers around the state and nationwide, CMU values seriously the business of changing lives, advancing science and discovery, and promoting service. CMU’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) guides the university’s research endeavors on this forward path.
