Saginaw Valley State University, commonly known as SVSU, is a state university in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in the middle of Michigan's lower peninsula in the Saginaw Valley region. The university is located in Kochville Township, Saginaw County. However, its official address places it in University Center, Michigan, which it shares with Delta College (which is 3.3 miles to the north-northwest, in Bay County's Frankenlust Township). It is the youngest of Michigan's 15 public colleges and universities.

[edit] Financials

2004 data puts the General Fund at $67 million. The sources include: state appropriations (42%, or $28.1 million), tuition & fees (55.2%, or $36.8 million) and "other sources" (2.8%, or $1.9 million).

SVSU's 2004 'self study' provides detail concerning the university's financials and other miscellaneous information.

The 2004 budget includes a cut of $1.3 million from the 2003 budget. Attempts have been made to avoid future budget cuts by means of raising tuition costs. This has sparked controversy, as SVSU has always prided itself on being a university with a very high quality/cost ratio; i.e. the quality of education has ostensibly and historically been more than commensurate with the price of attending the university. The university's mission statement reflects this belief.

As of Winter 2009, per credit hour charges for in-state students is $201.80. Out of state and non-resident aliens pay $481.75 per hour. [3]

[edit] SVSU Today

Saginaw Valley State University is one of the fastest growing universities in Michigan, and has continued to grow year after year.

The overall enrollment now stands at 10,498 students: a record level for SVSU. Saginaw Valley State University is also continuing to build on to its campus, both in new housing developments for students and in new buildings to help further the academic achievement of the students.
