Quality academics. Since its founding in 1885, Michigan Tech has been known for its excellent academic and research programs in the sciences and engineering. Michigan Tech is equally recognized for computing, arts and human sciences, technology, business, forest resources, and education. Michigan Tech's technical communication program is the largest in the nation. MTU is ranked in the top half of all national public universities by U.S. News and World Report.

Great resources. More than 900 acres with eighty buildings compose the Michigan Tech campus. Research agencies study water and waste management, computational science, materials processing, language, industrial development, and forest production, among numerous other research areas. Michigan Tech owns and operates an eighteen-hole golf course, cross-country (on a 600-acre recreational forest) and downhill ski areas, and a modern physical education facility.

Summer in the Keweenaw. You are surrounded by one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, Lake Superior. You have a nearly limitless amount of fun activities to do in the summer. You can hike, mountain bike, swim, fish, go boating or jet-skiing, and these are just a few of the options. There are also many things to see, including Brockway Mountain, Mount Bohemia, and Copper Harbor. There are fireworks for the Fourth of July and for Bridgefest, also many parades, including the Strawberry Festival, which always ends with strawberry shortcake. Many of the courses at MTU offer you the ability to experience some of the resources here, by having onsite classes.
