University Attributes

Grand Valley State University is ideally located, with a vibrant residential main campus spread throughout 1,304 beautiful acres in Allendale and features modern, high-tech classrooms and residential buildings. Our dynamic and urban downtown Grand Rapids campus feeds on the energy and opportunities of Michigan's second largest city. And with the beaches of Lake Michigan just 25 minutes away, Grand Valley makes your college years that much more special.

But location is just part of our appeal. We offer more than 200 areas of study, providing a wide selection of undergraduate programs. And with an average class size of 28 and with faculty members, not a graduate assistant, teaching all classes, you will find a personal and meaningful learning environment. The experience extends beyond classroom walls as well -- more than 6,800 students gain real-world experience every year through internships. Undergraduate students even have the opportunity to join faculty members in any advanced research.
