Finlandia University

Introduction

Finlandia University is a private, not-for-profit, HLC accredited, co-educational liberal arts college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The school is located in Michigan’s northernmost city, Hancock, founded in 1896 by Finnish immigrants as Suomi College.

Finlandia University is the only institution of higher learning in North America founded by Finns, which is evident throughout Finlandia’s campus.

FinnU is home to the cultural centre of Finns in North America, the Finnish American Heritage Center. In addition, the university hosts a unique curriculum and library of resources focused on nordic studies, several Finnish exchange students and interns each year, and the Finnish American Reporter, a monthly newspaper celebrating Finnish American heritage.
