Welcome to Saginaw Valley State University!

At SVSU, we seek to transform lives through comprehensive, engaged education and experiences that prepare students for tomorrow's challenges and opportunities.

At this university, you will encounter a special blend of Midwestern welcome, can-do attitude, commitment to academic rigor, and unwavering intellectual curiosity, all rolled up into one on a strikingly beautiful campus with comfortable learning facilities, state-of-the-art laboratories, active learning classrooms, sun-soaked gathering spaces for studying across campus, delicious eating venues, copious club spaces, and award-winning on-campus residences. You will have to stop by for a tour to see what we have to offer! 

Stick around to hear a lecture from one of our talented professors, who are both scholars and expert teachers, take in a theatrical performance, or get a glimpse of our many on-campus clubs and activities.

With our small classroom sizes and low faculty to student ratio, undergraduate and graduate students at SVSU are not numbers; each student is an individual who is a treasured part of our community.

SVSU is dedicated to student success and assisting everyone with reaching their full potential.

Your success is our success! Your success is imperative, and vital to the promotion of a healthy democracy and a stronger world. 

The Division of Academic and Student Affairs is committed to working with students, faculty, staff, and the larger community to ensure the effective implementation of our strategic vision of quality academic programs, a student-centered philosophy, and community engagement.

If you have a question, ask! We are here for you.

Provost, Lisa Krissoff Boehm, PhD
