Excellent Faculty

Connected Faculty and Students

When you visit SVSU, either online or in person, you will see interaction between our well-credentialed faculty and our students.  One reason is certainly because of our size.  Another is because by and large, SVSU is a teaching university. 

Certainly research goes on here, but the reason our faculty are at SVSU is because they love to:

• Teach
• Interact with students
• Get involved with helping shape young lives
• Lead by example

Shared Learning Experiences

Active learning with expert faculty leads to expanded educational opportunities such as:

• Faculty/student collaborations

Benefiting from Our Region

Our students benefit from living within the Saginaw Valley region (Bay City, Midland & Saginaw) -- an inviting cultural, civic, and professional hub.
