Hello! I'm glad you're considering Grand Valley State University (GVSU). While rankings can provide some insight, it's important to remember that they don't give the full picture of what a school has to offer. After all, a school may be lower ranked overall, but be especially strong in the areas that matter most to you.
That said, I can provide some general ranking information to help you in your research. Grand Valley State University is generally well-regarded and is ranked #103 in the 2022 edition of Best Colleges, Regional Universities Midwest by U.S. News & World Report.

Of course, these are just a few examples of the majors and programs offered at GVSU. I encourage you to explore their website to learn more about specific departments and degree offerings, and to also consider factors like campus life, location, and available resources when making your college decision.
