Eastern Michigan University is committed to excellence in teaching, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master's and doctoral programs. We provide a student-focused learning environment that positively affects the lives of students and the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives and partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.
EMU is an amazing place. It's vibrant, fun, personal, focused, success-oriented... education really is first in everything we do. That means your education is only "in class" part of the time. The rest of your education is--well, life. Service learning; community engagement; research; active, informed decision-making. And it's all focused on helping you become the best You of all time.
