The Institution of Michigan (Michigan or UMich) is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based public research university. The institution is Michigan's oldest, having been founded in 1817 by an act of the ancient Michigan Territory as the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania, 20 years before the territory became a state. In 1837, the university relocated to Ann Arbor on 40 acres (16 ha) of what is today known as Central Campus, a United States historic district. Since its founding in Ann Arbor, the institution has grown to encompass approximately 500 structures around the city. Since 1850, when the state's second constitution was formally ratified, the university has been controlled by an elected board of regents independent of the state. The university has nineteen colleges and provides degree programmes in over 250 subjects at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. The Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Ross School of Business, Medical School, Law School, Ford School of Public Policy, College of Pharmacy, School of Social Work, School of Public Health, and School of Dentistry are among Michigan's 10 professional schools. It has affiliations with two regional institutions in Flint and Dearborn (each of which is independently recognised), as well as a centre in Detroit. Fair Lane, a National Historic Landmark donated by the Ford family in 1957 and available to the public as a historical landscape and home museum, is also owned by the university. Since 1871, Michigan has been a coeducational university. There are roughly 32,000 undergraduate students and 16,000 graduate students enrolled at the university. The university's undergraduate admissions process is classified as "very selective." Almost half of the pupils come from outside of the state. International students from 130 different countries make up about 5% of the total student body. The six-year graduation rate in Michigan was 93 per cent in 2021.

University of Michigan Campus

The North, Central, Medical, and South campuses are the four primary regions of the Ann Arbor campus. More than 500 large structures with a total size of more than 37.48 million square feet make up the physical infrastructure (860 acres; 3.482 km2). The Central and South Campus regions are connected by the Huron River, while the North Campus area is divided by the Huron River. There is also leased space in buildings across the city, many of which are used by University of Michigan Health System entities. On Plymouth Road, an East Medical Campus was built, with a number of university-owned facilities for outpatient treatment, diagnostics, and outpatient surgery.

Central Campus

When the University of Michigan relocated to Ann Arbor in 1837, it began on Central Campus. On 40 acres (16 ha) of property encompassed by North University Avenue, South University Avenue, East University Avenue, and State Street, it once contained a school and dormitory facility (where Mason Hall currently stands) as well as various residences for teachers. The President's House, located on South University Avenue, is the oldest and only remaining structure from the original 40-acre (16-hectare) campus. Because Ann Arbor and Central Campus were built at the same time, there is no clear line between the city and the university, and some sections include a mix of private and institutional structures. The residence halls on Central Campus are divided into two categories.: the Hill Neighborhood and Central Campus.

North Campus

The most contiguous campus is North Campus, which was established apart from the city on a huge area of farmland (about 800 acres (3.2 km2)) that the university purchased in 1952. Because it is younger than Central Campus, it features more contemporary architecture, whereas the majority of Central Campus buildings are classical or Collegiate Gothic in style. In the 1950s, the Birmingham, Michigan-based architect Eero Saarinen devised one of the first master plans for North Campus and constructed several of its structures, notably the Earl V. Moore School of Music Building. The bell towers on the North and Central Campuses are uniquely unique, reflecting the prevalent architectural styles of their surroundings. A big carillon is housed in each of the bell towers. Lurie Skyscraper is the name of the North Campus tower..The University of Michigan's largest residence hall, Bursley Hall, is located on North Campus

South Campus

The athletic programmes are located on South Campus, which includes significant sporting facilities such as Michigan Stadium, Crisler Center, and Yost Ice Arena. The Buhr library storage facility, Revelli Hall, the Michigan Marching Band's home, the Institute for Continuing Legal Education, and the Student Theatrical Arts Complex, which offers shop and rehearsal space for student theatre organizations, are all located on South Campus. South Campus is home to the university's public safety and transportation services divisions.
