Mission

The mission of The University Center at Gaylord is to facilitate the delivery of quality, state-of-the-art education and training that is responsive to personal growth and business needs throughout Otsego County and Northern Michigan through a consortium of colleges offering degrees, enrichment and skill certification programs.

Vision

The University Center at Gaylord is a higher education collaborative, non-profit corporation designed to facilitate and deliver a complete range of higher education services and training to the citizens of rural, northern Michigan. The University Center is a "communiversity" partnership of accredited colleges and universities, industry, public schools, and citizens where no two or four year entity exists. It is viewed as the major catalyst in driving positive economic development and quality of life in our region through higher education and training for high-skilled wage and salaried positions, and for life long learning.
