Central
Michigan University
Central
Michigan University (also known as CMU) is a coeducational
state university located in Mount Pleasant in the U.S. state
of Michigan. Nearly 28,000 students are enrolled, of which
approximately 20,000 are undergraduates, making the university
the fourth largest in Michigan. CMU also has off-campus sites
located in 15 states and 10 countries. CMU offers students
their choice of 27 degrees through eight academic divisions.
On June 1, 1959, with 40 buildings standing on a 235-acre
(0.95 km2) campus and an enrollment of 4,500 students, Central
was renamed Central Michigan University, a designation that
reflected growth in the complexity of the school's academic
offerings as well as its physical growth in the post-war period.
