The
University of Michigan-Flint
The
University of Michigan–Flint (U of M–Flint, U–M–Flint,
or UMF) is a selective public institution located in Flint,
Michigan, United States. It is one of three campuses in the
University of Michigan system. The history of the University
of Michigan–Flint began in 1944, when the Flint Board
of Education requested University of Michigan to open their
Extension Office in Flint. Then the key area citizens already
planning the cultural center, were interested in the idea
of higher education in the community. Three years later, the
Regents of the University funded a study exploring the possibilities
for higher education in Flint. In 1970, the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools accredited the Flint College.
In 1971, the Regents officially changed the name of the institution
to the University of Michigan–Flint.
