Michigan Technological University

Michigan Technological University is a leading public R1 research university, home to more than students from 54 countries around the world. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology; forestry; business and economics; health professions; humanities; mathematics; and social sciences. Our beautiful campus in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior. The area’s waters, forests, and snowfall (200+ inches annually) offer skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, and paddling. Historic downtown Houghton is active with locally owned shops, eateries, high-tech companies, music festivals, and parades. We embrace our size, climate, sense of adventure, and originality. Michigan Tech wouldn’t be the same anywhere else on earth—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Learn more about Tech:
