With over 1,500 students, The Graduate Centers in Grand Rapids comprise the largest off-campus site for Western Michigan University.  In 2009, the Centers marked 100 years of service to this metropolitan community.

As our name implies, nearly all the offerings in Grand Rapids are graduate programs at the master's or doctoral level.   The programs are designed for working adults who need to continue their education and professional development on a part-time basis.  Programs can be completed entirely in Grand Rapids, and classes are offered primarily evenings or some weekends at two convenient locations in the city.

Our 20+ graduate degree programs fall into three general areas:

• Business and Engineering
• Teaching, Counseling and Administration
• Health and Human Services

In addition to our academic programs, WMU-Grand Rapids offers two other important resources to the region:

• The Center for Counseling and Psychological Services - a community-based mental health counseling clinic
• The Conference Centers at WMU - exceptional space rentals, professional catering and conference services for businesses, organizations and individuals, including beautiful wedding receptions and corporate social events
