Overview

A technological university in Southfield, Michigan, that grew up alongside Detroit's auto industry and keeps that applied identity in architecture, engineering, and computer science under a "theory and practice" motto.

Academics

Studio and lab work anchor every program rather than sitting alongside a separate lecture-heavy core, and architecture in particular carries a strong regional reputation. Many students work in industry while studying, a legacy of the university's evening-college origins, and co-op and internship placement with Detroit-area employers is built into the curriculum's design.

Campus & student life

A suburban Detroit-metro campus without a large traditional residential culture; many students commute or balance coursework with jobs, giving campus life a more practical, less social-first character than a typical residential college.

Worth knowing

The strong industry ties and sizable working-student population make this a good fit for students who want to be employed in their field while still studying, less so for those seeking a fully immersive residential college experience.
