University of Detroit Mercy (UDM)

The University of Detroit Mercy, a Catholic university in the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, exists to provide excellent student-centered undergraduate and graduate education in an urban context. A UDM education seeks to integrate the intellectual, spiritual, ethical and social development of our students.

The University of Detroit Mercy has one goal – to help our students realize their dreams and ambitions. We fulfill that goal by offering challenging academic programs taught by talented, committed professors and supplemented by hands-on research, co-op, and internship opportunities.

UDM offers approximately 100 academic programs in fields as diverse as architecture and psychology, business and nursing, teacher education, and engineering. No matter what major you choose – and we have a special program if you're not sure yet – you'll get a solid foundation in the liberal arts that will sharpen your communication and problem-solving skills and give you the cultural context to thrive in any environment.

Our professors are endlessly curious about their fields of study, but their true calling is teaching. They'll share their ideas with you, expect you to contribute your own, and be there for you when you need extra help – whether it's prepping for a test or putting together a grad-school-wowing research project.

One of the great things about UDM is its location. The McNichols Campus—our main undergraduate campus—is undergoing a major facelift.

Many of our "legacy buildings"—like Architecture and Commerce & Finance—have been totally refitted with new lab and classroom space that use the latest research and teaching technology, and our new Health Professions facility was designed to mirror the hospital and clinical settings our students will work in when they graduate.

And with workout facilities in Calihan Hall and popular hangouts like the Fountain Lounge and the Grounds Coffeehaus, you almost never have to leave. Of course, when you do want to get off campus, the dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities of downtown Detroit and the towns of Royal Oak and Ferndale are just short drives away.

Students at our School of Law study at our Riverfront Campus in the heart of downtown Detroit's business and legal community, and School of Dentistry students study at our Corktown Campus.
