Grand Valley State University is excited to continue a partnership with the University of Michigan's Semester in Detroit (SID). This program provides students in any major the opportunity to have a rich and unique learning experience, earning 12-15 undergraduate credits, while living in Detroit. This program is housed in Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies.

 

 

Why Study in Detroit?

  • LIVE in a dynamic and diverse urban setting now with community housing.
  • LEARN from community leaders, U-M faculty and personal experience.
  • WORK in challenging, creative internships with Detroit community organizations.
  • ENGAGE Detroit's people, history, experience and promise.
  •  

The Semester in Detroit mission is to engage undergraduates in substantive, sustained and reciprocal relationships with the people and communities of the City of Detroit. Combining a semester-long residence in the city with rigorous academic study and a comprehensive community-based internship, SID students become deeply involved in – and committed to – the life, challenges, and promise of this important American city.
