The university is highly regarded for its hands-on professional preparation, particularly through its premier School of Nursing—which features state-of-the-art simulation labs—as well as its strong programs in business, education, and justice and public policy. Student life is defined by a supportive, family-like culture that balances active campus ministries and competitive NAIA varsity athletics with the vibrant cultural and social benefits of the surrounding Ann Arbor college town.
