First-Year Admissions
When you enroll at EMU, you'll be joining nearly 3,500 other first-year students from Michigan and around the world. With more than 200 majors to choose from, a close-knit community with world-class opportunities, amazing campus life experiences, Division I intercollegiate athletics, study abroad options, and 95% employment after graduation, it's no wonder EMU is a popular choice.
The majority of our students come from the Midwest - Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York - but we have plenty of students from all 50 states and 70 foreign countries.
Not a "traditional" first-year student? You'll be interested to know that not all freshmen at EMU are recent high school graduates. So if you're thinking of heading to college for the first time at a "non-traditional" age, you'll find EMU's campus environment rich with diversity and very welcoming. Our Return to Learn program is specially designed to meet the needs of non-traditional learners.
No matter what kind of new student you are, we specialize in helping you--as an individual, not just one of 23,000--find your niche. Let us prove it to you.
