Michigan Tech was founded in 1885 and today is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree options in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences. Michigan Tech undergraduates study across disciplines through team learning and research. Graduate students develop as scholars in a wide range of academic programs. In courses and research, our faculty and students integrate learning with application. Michigan Tech conducts over $70 million in research per year across all academic departments and 18 research centers and institutes. According to the National Science Foundation annual survey of academic research expenditures, Tech ranks in the top 100 nationally in the disciplines of bioengineering/biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgical and materials engineering, mathematical sciences, and environmental science. Our most active research centers and institutes are the Keweenaw Research Center, focusing on vehicle mobility and dynamics testing, the Ecosystem Science Center, focusing on nutrient cycling and dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems, the Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor, focusing on sensing and signal processing, the Michigan Tech Transportation Institute, and the Sustainable Futures Institute, which addresses multiple aspects of ecological, environmental, and social sustainability. Tech has over 1,400 graduate students and graduates in excess of 70 Ph.D.'s per year across numerous disciplines.
