| Mission | |
| School mission | Michigan Tech students create the future. Students in our Enterprise Program work with industry sponsors on projects such as wakeboard design, homeland security, WiFi, video games, environmental sustainability, hybrid SUVs, and nanosatellites. Business students won a national investment competition for the second year in a row, and the Clean Snowmobile Challenge team won the best performance award in the annual international competition that they host. Programs such as Engineers Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, and Make A Difference Day positively impact communities here and around the globe. Michigan Tech Society of Automotive Engineers chapter is the largest in the nation. Students can choose from more than 120 programs in arts, humanities, and social sciences; business and economics; computing; engineering; environmental studies; natural and physical sciences; and technology. Our latest degree offerings include theatre and electronic media performance, and physical education. The environmental, mechanical, and geological engineering programs rank in the top ten nationally in enrollment and degrees granted, and our technical communication program is among the nation largest. Approximately 290 companies recruit students on campus annually, ensuring an average of six job interviews per student and a 95 percent placement rate. Outside of classrooms and labs, students enjoy our eighteen-hole golf course; lighted ski hill, trails, and recreational forest; and small-town atmosphere in beautiful Upper Michigan. Our Winter Carnival features world-famous snow statues; and other annual celebrations include the Parade of Nations, with an international food festival; Keweenaw Day, an afternoon on Lake Superior's shore; and Spring Fling, one last picnic before finals. |
