College is about learning, finding and exploring your passions, and taking the biggest step toward becoming the person you are meant to be.

At SVSU, you get to write your own script that begins with I AM and ends with whatever amazing things you choose to pursue.

We know how your script starts … I AM EXCEPTIONAL.  And what’s written next is your call –

I AM A LEADER.  I AM A RESEARCHER, DOING GRADUATE LEVEL WORK AS AN UNDERGRAD.  I AM A COMPETITOR.  I AM A STAND-OUT.  I AM AN HONORS STUDENT.   I AM CREATIVE.   I AM GOING ON TO GRAD SCHOOL.  I AM PRESENTING AT CONFERENCES.  I AM WORKING ALONGSIDE PhD FACULTY. 

I AM AT A PLACE WHERE I CAN SHINE. 

SVSU Programs of Distinction – exceptional opportunities for outstanding students  – are designed for top students seeking challenges that result in measureable accomplishments and the attainment of new levels of leadership and intellectual development. We know that students “blossom” at different times and in different ways and our Programs of Distinction acknowledge, support and celebrate that.

I AM A LEADER, A SCHOLAR… and I AM A FRESHMAN STANDOUT
