Annual Michigan Public Service Institute
Education/Certification Credits
While attending the MPSI, you may earn credit for college classes and if you attend three yearly Institutes, you will be presented with a Plaque of Achievement.

>> College Credit

CMU will offer up to three hours of academic credit in an independent study format at either the undergraduate or graduate level for completion of each year of the Institute. You will need to register for credit each year, as it may not be earned on a retroactive basis over the course of the three year Institute. For yearly maximum credit of three hours, additional outside course work including a reading list and a short paper on readings and/or Institute courses will be required. Tuition and admission fees apply and will be charged by CMU. Lew Bender is the instructor of record and information about college credit will be available at the beginning of the Institute.

>> Continuing Education Credit

Basic Institute participants may receive up to 3.2 continuing education credits and Advanced Institute participants may receive 1.4 credits from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality advisory board approved education credit. Students can not earn continuing education credit for independent study college courses associated with MPSI.

>> Certificate of Completion

Participants that complete the full week of instruction will receive a certificate of completion at the close of the last session on Friday. Those who complete three years of MPSI will receive a plaque stating they have successfully completed the three year program.
