MSU Facts
Michigan
State University Spartans work to advance the common good in uncommon ways. The
nation’s pioneer land-grant university, MSU began as a bold experiment that
democratized higher education and helped bring science and innovation into
everyday life. Today, MSU is one of the top research universities in the
world—on one of the biggest, greenest campuses in the nation—and is home to a
diverse community of dedicated students and scholars, athletes and artists, scientists
and leaders.
