Ferris
State University
Ferris State University (FSU, Ferris) is a
public university with its main campus in Big Rapids, Michigan,
USA. Founded in 1884 as the Big Rapids Industrial School by
Woodbridge Nathan Ferris, an educator from New England who
later served as governor of the State of Michigan and finally
in the US Senate where he remained until his death in 1928.
The school was noteworthy at its time for accepting female
students beginning with its first graduating class. It is
also the only public university in Michigan to be founded
by an individual.
Today Ferris is the ninth largest university in the state
with 14,381 students studying on its main campus, at one of
the 19 off-campus locations across the state, or online.
