University of Michigan-Flint

The University of Michigan-Flint is a public institution and part of the University of Michigan System, which also includes a campus in Dearborn and the main campus in Ann Arbor. The university was established in 1956 as a satellite campus for the University of Michigan and classes were originally offered at the Flint Community Junior College campus. The university now has its own campus with several buildings located throughout the downtown Flint area. The first student dormitory for the university was opened for students in 2007. An additional residence hall was announced in 2015 that can house an additional 500 students.

The nursing programs are offered through the School of Nursing. Incoming freshman may apply for the traditional BSN program as a pre-nursing student. During their freshman year, students will complete prerequisite courses. This program is competitive, with up to 40 students being admitted each semester. Students receive clinical experience working at Flint-area hospitals and clinics and simulation training at a simulation lab. Besides the traditional BSN program, the school offers other nursing programs. These programs include an accelerated BSN, RN to BSN, DNP, BSN to DNP, MSN, and RN to MSN programs. These programs are all accredited by the CCNE.
