It's a big decision
Helping your student choose where to attend college can be a daunting - and stressful
- endeavor. There's a lot to consider but you've come to the right place. We've got
information on tuition and costs, campus support services, and safety and wellness
resources.
At UM your student will find the academics, campus culture and community that will
help cultivate their independence, expand their knowledge and improve their career
opportunities.
It all starts here
World-class academics, in the classroom and the great outdoors, on one hand. Internships, real-world know how and meaningful industry connections on the other. With more than 175 programs to choose from, students here find the knowledge they're seeking.
Tuition and Scholarships
For most students and their families, cost of attendance is among the most important considerations when weighing options for higher education. Luckily, we are experts at helping sort through the details!
Helping students succeed at UM and beyond “Our goal is to give students the opportunity to have a job in hand before they graduate.” "So much about success in math, as in anything, is confidence. The key is to build
skills step-by-step at a pace that fits the student’s level of preparation." "I’ve been treated so well by my professors and everyone in the Davidson Honors College.
I think everyone should go to their smaller-town universities – especially for STEM." 108 Fulbright Scholars #1 in nation for service 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio 10K students at UM 65% in-state students 35% out-of-state studentsMaking Memories at UM
