University of Michigan-Flint has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 70%. The average net price after financial aid is $7,007 per year.

The University of Michigan–Flint (UM-Flint) is a public university in Flint, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1956 as the Flint Senior College, it was initially established as a remote branch of the University of Michigan, offering upper-division undergraduate courses. The institution developed into a fully-fledged university and received accreditation in 1970. Subsequently, the name was changed to the University of Michigan–Flint. It continues to adhere to the policies of the University of Michigan Board of Regents without having a separate governing board.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $12,280/year after aid and only $18,494 in median debt at graduation, this school is genuinely affordable, and the University of Michigan name carries real regional credibility in Michigan. However, the 45% graduation rate is a serious concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish — and median earnings of $44,500 a decade out suggest modest career outcomes for many graduates. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, plan to stay in Michigan, and have a clear plan to stay on track academically, but eyes open on that completion rate.
