The Comprehensive Studies Program

The Comprehensive Studies Program, established in 1983, is a comprehensive program of academic, social and personal support for students with outstanding potential for success at the University of Michigan. CSP is a Michigan Learning Community that is an academic unit within the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and which offers a variety of academic support services, including the Summer Bridge Program, academic year course instruction, advising, tutoring, and freshmen interest groups. CSP works closely with a wide variety of academic departments, offices and programs throughout the university, including offices in the various schools and colleges, the Undergraduate Admissions Office, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Division of Student Affairs.

The Comprehensive Studies Program is a community of scholars--students, faculty, advisors and staff--organized around the principles of diversity, access, equity and inclusion. Together we promote academic excellence and champion personal growth and wellness for all students within the community and the University of Michigan at large.

CSP academic advisors develop strong working relationships with students. Through consistent on-going interaction, students and advisors forge a lasting relationship that is the foundation for personal guidance based on detailed familiarity with students' intellectual strengths, needs, interests, and goals.

CSP faculty and staff are dedicated to supporting students who have the determination, dedication, and willingness to work hard toward achieving their academic and career goals.

The Comprehensive Studies Program is centrally located in 1139 Angell Hall. CSP is easily accessible and provides a friendly atmosphere where students can meet with faculty, talk with their advisors, obtain useful information concerning University requirements and events, and meet with other program students.
