Michigan State University has a proud history and an exciting future. Few institutions offer such a combination, and fewer still can claim that their primary focus is undergraduate education. Join us and become part of the Spartan tradition as you step into your future.

Accessible

Founded in 1855, Michigan State University has a rich history of providing education opportunities to undergraduates of diverse interests, abilities, and backgrounds. The university boasts over 150 programs of study, more than 2,5000 faculty members, and a campus of 2,100 acres. But our size does not diminish our primary mission ­ your undergraduate education. At MSU, you will have the access and attention that you might expect from institutions a fraction of our size. Far from being intimidating, our size means opportunity, enrichment, excitement, and diversity.

Affordable

Michigan State University is consistently listed in national publications as one of the best values in American higher education. No student should hesitate to apply to MSU because of modest financial resources. We offer one of the most extensive merit scholarship programs in the nation, as well as a tuition guarantee. Need-based grants, loans, and part-time jobs can be combined in financial aid packages to help all qualified students afford MSU.

Land-Grant

We are one of the nation's pioneer land-grant institutions. The core of the land-grant tradition is the belief that educational opportunities should be available to the widest possible number of people. It is a tradition that values both the discovery of new knowledge and the development of practical applications of that knowledge.

Prestigious

As one of only 60 members of the Association of American Universities, we are deeply engaged in all facets of education, at all levels, from first-year instruction to the preparation of Ph.D. candidates. We are a member of the Big Ten, arguably the nation's premiere academic and athletic conference. For over a century, the Big Ten has enriched student life through cooperation, consultation, and competition.

World Class

Michigan State University's outstanding reputation and influence stretch far beyond the United States. From agriculture to the sciences, from the arts to business, MSU is recognized throughout the world as a premier institution of higher education that actively pursues its mission of teaching, research, and public service. With 95 academic programs in more than 45 countries, MSU's study abroad program is one of the largest and most prestigious in the nation.
