Spring/Summer Curriculum

Because the U-M Residential College (RC) is the academic sponsor for Semester in Detroit, all courses offered are listed through the RC. Please note, however, that students do not have to be enrolled in the RC to participate. Semester in Detroit is available to ALL U-M undergraduates regardless of their school or department - from Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint. We also accept students from Grand Valley State University.

Basic Overview

Most SiD courses can be used to meet College of LSA distribution requirements for the social sciences and the humanities. In some cases, SiD courses can be used to meet concentration requirements (but this is ultimately determined by a concentration advisor.) Additionally, the nine credits you earn in Semester in Detroit count towards the LSA Minor in Urban Studies. Students will have to take two additional courses on the Ann Arbor campus to fulfill the Urban Studies minor requirements
