MJI - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

In 1994 a group of public minded members of the Metropolitan Detroit Jewish community formed a Board of Trustees to take over the Norman and Esther Allen Touro College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Congregation Beth-Chabad agreed to sponsor this much needed institution and provided the initial investment capital to establish and accredit the college and to provide a permanent home for the school on the Center for Living Judaism campus in West Bloomfield.

Michigan Jewish Institute is an independently operated institution with its own Board of Trustees. As a private institution of higher education, Michigan Jewish Institute is uniquely positioned to provide career-oriented academic studies in a warm and intimate learning environment that adheres to the highest ethical standards and religious traditions of Judaism. Our carefully chosen, up-to date and balanced curriculums in business, computer information systems and Judaic Studies equip students with the relevant theory and practical skills necessary to create new employment opportunities, enhance value in the work-place and revive careers. MJI also prepares students with a strong foundation for success in advanced degree programs upon graduation.

Since it's founding in 1994, Michigan Jewish Institute has pursued a mission of providing an excellent academic baccalaureate degree-granting program that combines an arts and sciences foundation with a concentration for career development in business-related disciplines.  Recognized as an institution of higher learning by the Department of Education, Michigan Jewish Institute's collegiate accreditation has been with the Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools since 1997.
