Ferris State University

---

Ferris State University is a mid-sized four-year public university located in Big Rapids, Michigan. Ferris is known for its quality of instruction and large selection of over 180 different academic programs, ranging from associate to doctoral degrees, offered through seven degree-granting colleges. Ferris' mission is to prepare students for successful careers, responsible citizenship and lifelong learning. Through its many partnerships and its career-oriented, broad-based education, Ferris serves our rapidly changing global economy and society. Students at Ferris have exceptional access to faculty due to the University’s low student-faculty ratio and small class sizes, which promote more engaging instruction, one-on-one career advice and professional connections. Ferris is committed to ensuring that students gain real-world skills outside of the classroom. As a result, 70% of students enrolled in bachelor’s or more advanced degree programs participate in internships that support their personal and professional growth.
