Life as a Griz
Our undergraduates go far
“Sometimes I can’t believe how individualized my path was at UM. And then I think about how much support I received to pursue practically any topic that interests me. The opportunities offered to me were limitless.”
"The best thing I’ve done in college is the marching band. Every student at UM can find something like that. UM is the one college I looked at where there is truly something for everyone, so go out there and find your marching band."
“I was able to take a lot of classes so I could become more culturally competent. Honestly, I got a whole new view of the world.”
