Four-year colleges and universities
Graduate and professional schools
Military
On-the-job-training and work experience
Two-year community and junior colleges
Vocational, trade, technical schools and other proprietary schools

Other Educational Opportunities

The state of Michigan has created a Michigan career portal within its extensive Web site. (http://www.michigan.gov/) Learn more about various types of education and training and emerging occupations. There is a link to a comprehensive list of two- and four-year colleges and universities. This list includes direct links to each school’s admissions, academics, financial aid, and online application system. Other links take you to information about technical, trade, vocational and other proprietary schools across the state.

Financial Aid

If you think you can’t afford to pay for education after high school, first take a look at the numerous options. Scholarships, financial aid and college loans can be considered. There are a variety of resources out there to help you look at funding for post-high school education.
