There are ninety-three colleges and universities in the U.S. state of Michigan that are listed under the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. These institutions include eight research universities, five doctoral/professional universities, fourteen master's universities, and fourteen baccalaureate colleges, as well as thirty-one associates colleges. In addition, there are nineteen institutions classified as special-focus institutions, eleven labeled as baccalaureate/associate's colleges, and two tribal colleges which operate in the state.
The University of Michigan, founded in 1817–twenty years before Michigan's statehood–is the state's oldest university[1][2] and remained the only university in the state until the 20th century, when Detroit College became the University of Detroit in 1911 and Wayne State University achieved "university" status in 1933 following the consolidation of the City of Detroit's colleges by the Detroit Board of Education into Wayne University. Since then, Michigan's higher education landscape has experienced two significant periods of reconstruction. The first, from 1955 to 1964, was fueled by the rising demand for higher education from returning World War II veterans and the baby boom; during this time, Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and Western Michigan College attained university status in 1955 and 1957, respectively. This was followed by Central Michigan Normal School and Eastern Michigan College in 1959, and later by Northern Michigan College and Michigan College of Mining and Technology between 1963 and 1964. The second period of reconstruction took place in 1987 when Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Saginaw Valley State, and Lake Superior State were all granted university status.
The state has seven medical schools,[note 1] as well as five law schools[note 2] which are accredited by the American Bar Association.[3] The majority of Michigan's post-secondary institutions are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).[4] Most are accredited by multiple agencies, such as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), and the National League for Nursing (NLNAC).
