Midwest Poultry Consortium

Students who are especially interested in poultry should consider the Midwest Poultry Consortium Center of Excellence (COE) offered in Madison, WI. Over two summers, students complete a maximum of six courses and all credits transfer to MSU to meet graduation requirements. Some courses may be used to fulfill requirements in Animal Science. Poultry experts from across the United States teach the courses. Internship opportunities are highly likely. This program has limited enrollment and is competitive to enter, but is supported with generous scholarships for tuition. Students who do not receive a scholarship from Midwest Poultry Consortium may enroll in classes and attend when they pay their own in-state tuition.
