The University of Toledo and Schoolcraft College: forging opportunities for Michiganders

These two fine educational institutions are partnering to enhance educational opportunities for the residents of Michigan. Schoolcraft College students will now have access to UT’s high-quality programs in nursing, criminal justice, communications and health information management. Seamless credit transfer, same location.

So why would Schoolcraft look to UT? • High quality: UT, established in 1872, has a long- standing track record of academic excellence and job placement in nursing and criminal justice. • Affordability: UT classes are affordable and scholarship opportunities are plentiful. • Innovation: UT pushes the envelope to provide plenty of opportunities for experiential learning which leads to more real-world experience. That leads to better jobs out of college. • Flexibility: whether it’s online coursework, face-to- face intact action, or a combination of both, we cater to a variety of schedules and learning styles.
