Ferris State University is a mid-sized four-year public university known for its quality of instruction and large selection of academic programs, ranging from associate to doctoral degrees, offered through seven degree-granting colleges. Students at Ferris have exceptional access to faculty due to the University’s low student-faculty ratio and small class sizes, which promote more engaging instruction, one-on-one career advice and professional connections. Ferris State also partners with industry leaders to maintain state-of-the-art equipment and technology.
