Grand Valley State University has established a reputation for preparing students to excel in virtually every field.  The University's focus on individual student achievement has created unique undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities that attract top students from across the country and around the world.

Academic Excellence. The liberal arts focus at Grand Valley puts an emphasis on critical thinking, effective communications, and creative problem solving. Virtually all of the University’s more than 200 areas of academic study, including 23 graduate programs, incorporate these skills into the learning process. The result is that graduates are better prepared to meet new challenges with confidence and professional expertise.

First-rate Faculty. Preparing students to achieve at a higher level puts a premium on teaching excellence. Grand Valley faculty come from some of the country’s leading institutions because the University encourages them to do what they do best -- teach. Even the innovative research projects undertaken by faculty are viewed as an opportunity to collaborate with students to enhance the learning experience. In this way, undergraduate students gain research experience that is more typically reserved for graduate students at other colleges and universities.

State-of-the-Art Facilities and Inspiring Programs. Supporting this network of high-achieving students and faculty are contemporary campuses in Grand Rapids and Allendale. Both campuses include state-of-the-art learning, living, and research centers. In addition, the University has more than 200 clubs and organizations that keep students involved and active. Plus, Grand Valley features championship-level NCAA Division II sports, and a vast array of athletic, social, religious, and fine arts activities. Grand Valley also has a full-service campus in Holland, and centers in Muskegon and Traverse City.
