Student Success Coordinator Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a student success coordinator in Michigan?
Most student success coordinator roles in Michigan require at least a bachelor's degree in education, counseling, psychology, or a related field, with a master's degree preferred for positions at four-year universities. Michigan does not issue a state license specifically for this role, but positions at K-12 schools sometimes prefer candidates with a Michigan school counselor endorsement issued through the Michigan Department of Education. Building experience through advising, tutoring centers, or student affairs offices is the most direct path into the field.
Which companies hire student success coordinators in Michigan?
Employers hiring student success coordinators in Michigan right now include Baker College, Henry Ford College, and Wayne State University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Michigan's dense network of public universities, community colleges, and charter school operators keeps hiring active throughout the academic year.
Which Michigan cities have the most student success coordinator jobs?
Owosso, Detroit, and Portage have the most student success coordinator openings in Michigan. Ann Arbor and East Lansing lead because of their flagship research universities, while Detroit's large urban district, Wayne State University, and a cluster of community colleges sustain steady demand, and Grand Rapids draws openings from both Grand Valley State University and its growing healthcare and nonprofit education sector.
How can I get hired as a student success coordinator in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for an advising assistant, peer mentor coordinator, or student services specialist role at a Michigan community college, where hiring requirements are typically more flexible than at four-year universities. Grand Rapids Community College, Lansing Community College, and Henry Ford College regularly hire entry-level student services staff and provide mentorship into full coordinator roles. Lateral moves from financial aid counseling, residence life, or K-12 intervention specialist positions also open doors, and completing a graduate certificate in higher education administration from a Michigan institution strengthens any application.
Where can I find and apply to student success coordinator jobs in Michigan?
You can find and apply to student success coordinator jobs in Michigan on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, identify the roles that match your experience and location, and apply directly through each posting.
