University of Michigan Examinations

The University of Michigan

There are many ways to describe a great University: its top-ranked degree programs, its libraries, laboratories and research facilities, and its internationally eminent faculty. And the University of Michigan is endowed with these resources.

It is ranked among the top three public Universities in the United States, and many of its graduate programs are ranked among the top five in the country. To understand the breadth of the University’s operations, you can consider that the University of Michigan’s total budget is nearly the size of the entire Greek state budget for the Ministry of Education.

The English Language Institute

Obviously, producing tests to such exacting standards presupposes a great deal of research and expertise in testing and advanced technological infrastructure. As part of one of the world’s leading research Universities, the English Language Institute itself a world leader in English-language testing, is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge.

Founded in 1941, the English Language Institute (ELI) was the first English language research and training entity of its kind in the United States. Today, with the same commitment to academic excellence, the same rigorous application of the methods of scientific inquiry and the same dedication to the principles of equity and accessibility, the ELI continues to be recognized worldwide as a principal center of second language teaching, testing, and research.
