Academic Programs & Degrees
Small classes, faculty who care about you and career success. It all starts here.
How to College
During a pandemic, learning about transitioning from high school to college can be much more challenging. SVSU has developed a series of podcasts that guide students through the essential steps of "How to College". SVSU wants to make sure that students have all of the help they need to make the transition to college.
5 Reasons to be a Cardinal
ACADEMICS: 100+ UNDERGRADUATE & GRADUATE PROGRAMS
At SVSU, we see and cultivate your full potential. Our award winning faculty partner with you to pursue research opportunities, study abroad experiences, academic conferences and practical internships.
CAMPUS LIFE: VOTED BEST DORMS IN MICHIGAN
We're the student section of an Elite 8 basketball game, painted red and screaming wild. We're festivals and movie nights, dorm hangouts and coffeehouse open mic events. Above all, we are a community of students spending every day like it only gets lived once.
AFFORDABILITY: #1 IN MICHIGAN
We lead Michigan in creating a high-value education. We care about you and your future, so we work with your family to find the aid you need. The vast majority of our students graduate with under $30,000 in debt.
CLASSES LED BY EXPERTS
At SVSU, every class is taught by a professor. Graduate students and teaching assistants never lead a class — we’re of the opinion students deserve the full attention of mentoring faculty. That is why our average class size is 23, with the largest freshman class topping out at 88. SVSU professors know your name, your challenges and your goals. They care about supporting you, and they help you reach the dreams you are chasing.
SUPPORT: ALL FOR ONE
If you are looking for a guide, our Career Center and faculty take the time to help you discover who you want to be. If the road feels hard and you need support, our Writing Center and tutoring programs offer direct solutions to your struggles. If you want a challenge, we'll send you to the academic edge where honors students and Cardinal fellows thrive. At SVSU, we are invested together -- and we believe in you.
