At SVSU, students earn degrees that are both personal and practical. The faculty care and attention each student receives shows in our internships and job placement rates—students were chosen for 3,000 different research or job experiences during the last academic year.

As the largest nursing school in Michigan, SVSU instills in its students a passion to provide exemplary healthcare to Bay County. Our students are high achieving and hard-working, dedicated to overcoming challenges and furthering the region’s wellness. Last year’s SVSU nursing graduates had 100% job placement.

SVSU empowers students to innovate. With every class taught by faculty, not grad assistants, our students engage in a rigorous and engaged learning environment, solving real world issues—like making vehicles safer without adding weight. Our dedicated faculty collaborate with industry professionals to provide every student with a quality experience.

SVSU is a community that inspires servant leaders. Together our students grow, realize potential and dream on one of the most beautiful and affordable university campuses in Michigan. 

SVSU is a community that inspires students to stand out. 84% of students participate in experiential education during their undergrad education; like Nate Peters who went door-to-door to get the most accurate health information of Midland County residents. Fervent field-based research helps our students stand out for grad school or for an employer.
