Madonna University, located in Livonia, Michigan, USA, offers over 100 career-focused undergraduate degrees, along with online courses, graduate programmes and transfer classes.
Boasting a small student-staff radio of 12:1, students benefit from plenty of one-on-one time with dedicated teaching staff. It was also the first university in the country to offer a bachelor's degree in Sign Language Studies.
As well as the main campus, Madonna University has sites in Gaylord, Macomb, Dubai, UAE, and China. During their time studying, students have plenty of opportunities to take part in one of the many international exchange programmes, seeing them take classes abroad in host countries such as the United Kingdom and Israel.

Students are encouraged to get involved in life at the institution by joining in one of the many student organisations, which range from the Music Club to the Red Cross Club. Each academic year, a number of annual events take place, including welcome parties, dances and games. Students wishing to travel and explore the area are also able to join Madonna Miles, a group that takes them to local attractions and sporting events on a bus.

The Council concluded that Madonna’s undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education degree programmes met all five standards for accreditation and did not need improvement in any area.
“This is a wonderful testament to the dedication and hard work of the faculty and staff in our College of Education,” said Madonna University President Michael Grandillo.
“The dean, professors and staff, in the College, all share a true passion for education and they pass that on to their students as they prepare them to teach the next generation of learners,” he added.
