University Profile and History

Eastern Michigan University is a comprehensive University whose roots date back to 1849, when the Michigan Legislature designated it as Michigan's first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. At that time the Detroit school system was only 10 years old and the transition from one-room school houses had just begun.

Graduate education was inaugurated in 1938, when the programs were conducted in cooperation with the University of Michigan. In 1953 Eastern gained approval to offer its own graduate programs.

During its first 100 years, Michigan State Normal School, as it was originally called, certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based academic curricula that prepared it for its evolution to University status in 1959. Within the new University, three colleges emerged: the College of Education, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Office of Graduate Studies and Research. The University has expanded three more times: in 1964 with the College of Business; in 1975 with the College of Health and Human Services; and in 1980 with the College of Technology.

New colleges created a need for additional acreage. The University campus spread from its original 275 acres on the south side of the Huron River to encompass an additional 182 acres west of the campus where student residences, athletic facilities and the Convocation Center are located. Among the newest buildings are the Porter College of Education building (1999); the Marshall College of Health and Human Services building (2000); and the University House (2004).

Today's student body reflects the national trend of mature adults returning to college to continue their education and prepare for new careers in a changing society. Women compose approximately 65 percent of the student body. Most students are from the state of Michigan, but 45 states and 93 countries are also represented. In fall 2006, 23,000 undergraduate and 4,650 graduate students were enrolled at Eastern Michigan University.

EMU's perspective has also grown, not only in on-campus program development, but also in online courses offered through the Office of Extended Programs.

Eastern Michigan University is known worldwide for its educational contributions. Its 105,000 living graduates are scattered among many countries as well as coast-to-coast in the United States, both strengthening and supporting the foundation that is the University in Ypsilanti.

Accreditations of Colleges
