University
of Michigan
The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U of
M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a coeducational public research
university in the state of Michigan. The university was founded
in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of
Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor
in 1837. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the
flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses —
the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The university is internationally renowned for its academics.
In its last published survey in 1995, the National Research
Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that
aggregated evaluations of 41 graduate disciplines and is considered
as one of the original eight Public Ivys.
