Michigan Technological University (MTU)

Nestled in the far north of the Great Lakes State, Michigan Tech gets plenty of snow each year. As a result, student life at MTU involves plenty of winter sports, including snowboarding, hockey and broomball. The annual Winter Carnival features some of the most impressive snow statues you’ve ever seen, in addition to plenty of outdoor games and activities.

Despite being an engineering school, Tech does not limit its academics to science. Engineering and computing are its main focus, but Michigan Tech also offers majors in the arts, humanities and social science, as well as environmental science and forestry.

Financial aid is abundant at Michigan Tech. The school participates in government financial aid programs, and offers a variety of scholarships to both in-state and out-of-state students who qualify. One of these opportunities is the Department of Defense’s SMART Scholarship, which pays full tuition, fees and expenses to outstanding students in the sciences.

MTU’s admissions require standardized test scores and high school transcripts from all applicants. Specific degree programs, such as those in the Visual and Performing Arts Department, may have additional admissions requirements.
