🥇🎉 The University of Michigan continues to set the bar as the #1 U.S. public university for study abroad participation—two years running, according to the 2025 Open Doors report!

Nearly 4,000 Wolverines pursued for-credit education abroad in 2023-2024, proving our unmatched commitment to global engagement, and CGIS remains a cornerstone—1 in 3 students chose a CGIS program. We’re empowering students of every background and major to thrive on the world stage, from first-generation and underrepresented students taking their very first trip abroad, to students from all majors diving into global classrooms, labs, and communities.

We don’t just keep up; we lead. For what's next, Look to Michigan. 💛💙
