Major highways crisscross the southeastern Michigan area. Bus service is available within and from outside Ypsilanti, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport is 30 minutes away. I-275 provides quick and convenient access from Detroit's northwestern suburbs. More than half the population of the state of Michigan lives within 50 miles of EMU's campus. Prospective students desiring to visit the campus are greeted by EMU's University Ambassadors Society, which provides tours and arranges visits with faculty in fields of interest to high school or transfer students.
Orientation is provided for all incoming students.
Once on campus, the University online catalog becomes the student's bible of information as personal programs are planned with the help of University counselors and faculty advisers.
