Extended Info
Campus:
Lake Superior State University is a personal, small-town school that provides a superior blend of liberal and technical studies in the natural setting on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. LSSU offers undergraduate degrees in 45 areas of study that attract students from every county in Michigan, more than a dozen states and provinces, and nine nations. LSSU is Michigan's most personal public university emphasizing an undergraduate experience provided by a fully-qualified faculty and a dedicated staff.
The 115-acre campus is situated on the site of the former U.S. Army's Fort Brady, fourteen of LSSU's buildings are listed on various historic registers, creating a unique campus environment. Also, the campus overlooks Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the St. Mary's River, and the Soo Locks, the busiest locks in the world.

Life and Learning at LSSU:
Lake State was the first in the country to offer an accredited four-year Fire Science program and is one of three such programs in the nation.
Students working at our aquatic research laboratory maintain one of the few fisheries in North America.
We are one of three Michigan public universities to offer a Legal Assistant Studies program that is approved by the American Bar Association. Less than 30 percent of programs nationwide are ABA approved.
We are one of only three U.S. universities to offer a robotics specialization within its Engineering bachelor's programs. The other two are Princeton and Tulane.
More than 90% of our Nursing graduates pass the state licensure board exam on their first attempt, which equals or exceeds all other programs in Michigan.
Our Athletic Training program is one of eight in Michigan to have earned accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
Life outside the classroom is wide and varied. Not only do we have one of the world's largest backyards to hunt, fish, bike, ski, snowshoe and just relax, there are more than 60 campus clubs and organizations to get involved with.
Our Student Activity Center is perfect for pickup games, intramurals and getting a great work out. The "SAC" has a six-lane track, four multi-purpose courts for basketball, volleyball, and tennis plus their state-of-the-art aerobic workout stations.
Leadership in training. Students at LSSU have more opportunities than students at bigger campuses for making a difference. Lake State offers the opportunity to really work closely with senior administration and staff in extracurricular activities. One person can make a difference at Lake Superior State University.
Our annual Banished Words List receives world-wide media coverage. The list won in the "Reads" category of PC Magazine's Best Undiscovered Web Sites (April 2004), where the magazine's editors search the Web and award the best 100 sites in 12 major categories.
