Student Testimonials
"After I transferred to the University of Michigan to complete the engineering classes, it was apparent that I had had much more rigorous courses in chemistry, math and physics than my classmates and was well prepared to survive the challenging chemical engineering curriculum."
Erin Knight – Class of 2005
"At Albion, I got one-on-one attention with the professor, knew most of the people in my class, and felt I was in a comfortable learning environment. Here at U of M, I see first-year students struggling in the introductory math and science classes because the classes are too big or they do not know anyone..."
