Finlandia's campus setting is on the rugged finger of land known to the locals as the "Keweenaw Peninsula" in the small city of Hancock in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Visitors to campus have told us what they like best: 'the friendly people', 'the feeling of safety' and one-of-a-kind area that can only be found on the "Keweenaw".
Finlandia offers nine academic programs of study, leading to baccalaureate degrees in Art and Design (BFA), Business Administration (BBA), Elementary Education (BA), Liberal Studies (BA), Liberal Studies-ACE! (BA), Nursing (BSN), Rural Human Services (BA), and associate degrees in Criminal Justice and Physical Therapist Assistant.

- Funding: Approximately 92% of Finlandia's students receive some sort of financial aid ($2,500 scholarships, for example).
