Today’s fast-moving, interconnected world demands a degree of creativity and dash of entrepreneurship. Adrian College’s ten, innovative institutes are designed to develop those instincts. 

Each Institute operates independently, deploying a range of customized resources to move students closer to their personal and professional goals.

At the same time, all our institutes share a primary goal: to add an additional layer to your course of study. Whether hosting lectures, running workshops, identifying internships, or offering career counseling, each Institute strives to supplement existing curriculum in meaningful ways.

For example, maybe you’re interested in pursuing a career in government. At The George Romney Institute for Law and Public Policy, you’ll find a debate series that offers lively discussions of the real-world issues you’re likely to encounter. 

Or perhaps you sense that sports medicine is the niche for you. Our Institute for Sports Medicine can help you take a deeper dive into the discipline by identifying relevant research and internship opportunities on and off campus.

Whatever your interests, when you access institute resources, you can expect an experience that allows you to collaborate with faculty, think critically and creatively, and expand your understanding by putting ideas into practice.

And when you complete your degree, you’ll move forward with the confidence and flexibility to adapt to whatever environment you enter.
