    From Southwestern Michigan College

    Southwestern Michigan College is a small school with big opportunities.

    We offer degrees that can get students started on nearly any field of study for a fraction of the cost of four-year universities, and credits easily transfer to 4-year colleges.

    Our 240-acre campus is safe, beautiful, and always busy with activity. Students can participate in NJCAA athletics, intramural sports, clubs, and many other campus events year-round.

    Students who live on campus enjoy their own private bedrooms in apartment-style suites.

    Visit swmich.edu to learn more.
