The university was established in 1817 in nearby Detroit, a full two decades before the Michigan Territory even became a state . It moved to its current campus in 1837. Due to the caliber and breadth of education available at U of M, the university is considered one of a handful of “Public Ivies,” where students can obtain an education on a par with that offered by the Ivy League schools.

To call the Michigan campus “sprawling” does not do it justice: It comprises 20,965 acres, counting a 3,177-acre arboretum. This expansive university currently has an enrollment of 43,426 students. Those students have over 200 undergraduate majors, 90 master’s programs, and 100 doctoral degrees to choose from.
