After successful accreditation with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) in 2010, Ming Chuan University received approval from the State of Michigan on April 18, 2012 to launch two graduate programs at its Michigan location (MCUMI). Located in a prime spot on the Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) campus, MCUMI established a joint venture with SVSU, one of its long-time sister universities. MCUMI student recruitment was kicked off in the following year. Located in central Michigan near Saginaw City, with state-of-the-art facilities and full state support, SVSU academic programs in nursing, business administration, criminal justice and more are highly rated in the state.
