The Alumni Factor

Central Michigan University has nearly 22,000 undergrads who benefit from all the resources a very large public university has to offer. Beyond the traditional campus, CMU serves students on a much wider scale through its “Global Campus,” encompassing online education and nearly 50 “learning centers” spread throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico; 20 such centers are on American military bases. CMU’s sports teams compete in the NCAA’s Mid-American Conference and are known as the Chippewas or “Chips” (the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe supports the use of the name).
