Rooted in the principles of respect, solidarity, and justice, Semester in Detroit has been engaging students with Detroit and Detroiters since 2009. The Semester in Detroit mission is to engage U-M undergraduates in substantive, sustained and reciprocal relationships with the people and communities of the city of Detroit. Combining a semester-long residence in the city with rigorous academic study and a comprehensive community-based internship, SiD students become deeply involved in – and committed to – the life, challenges, and promise of this important city.
Semester in Detroit runs programs during the spring/summer and fall semesters. The program is capped at 20 students per semester, which cultivates a close, cohort-based experience in which students and faculty alike build deep relationships and learn from one another’s lived experiences. The best place to find information about Semester in Detroit is on our website, or by emailing us at [email protected].
