The CMU Experience
Central Michigan University, with a main campus in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and more than 60 locations across the U.S., is nationally recognized for academic excellence in more than 200 programs. Cutting edge research, new facilities, graduate programs and top faculty ensure an education that is one of the best in the state.
But what really sets Central apart from other schools is difficult to describe. We call it "the CMU experience." It's the fact that nearly half of all CMU freshmen participate in leadership training their first week on campus. Or that CMU recently won a national award for assisting victims of Hurricane Katrina. Or it's that special professor who still remembers your name after 20 years. It's a spirit that defies definition. That's CMU.
