Michigan has nearly one hundred universities, colleges and other institutes dedicated to higher education. So many, in fact that we pushed our Google Map to the limit. To see all of the schools, you may have to select a different page when you get to Absolute Michigan's map (we marked the colleges with purple pushpins!).

In September, we'll be looking at how Michigan is meeting the challenge of education in the 21st century at all levels and some of the innovative programs that are being developed.

Do you know of a cool program we should be aware of? Post it in the comments!

    Last year, enrollment topped 100,000, the Michigan Association of Public School Academies announced, with this year's enrollment projected to grow.

    Michigan legislators this fall are expected to debate allowing a greater number of charters in Detroit as they refine laws related to schools.
