Colleges in Michigan
Every college in Michigan that reports to the federal government: 97 schools, 46 of them public. For each one, what a year actually costs after grant aid, the share of applicants admitted, the share of students who finish, and what graduates earn ten years after starting. All of it from public federal data, none of it ranked by us.
Looking for schools near a particular town rather than a whole state? The College Finder searches every US college by zip code and puts them on a map, and it will compare any two side by side. If you are still deciding what belongs on the list at all, start with building the list.

Two-year colleges in Michigan
Community and technical colleges, where the main award is a two-year associate degree. Read the graduation figure here differently: it counts only students who finish at the school they started, so a student who transfers to a four-year college counts as not graduating even though transferring on is usually the entire point.

Nearby states. In-state tuition makes a state line a price line, so the school just over it can cost your family several times what it costs a resident. Neighboring states: Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin.
