At University Studies, we offer complete academic advising for our own majors as well as students in transition. We also teach approximately 40 sections every Fall of US 101--the University Studies First-Year Seminar--a foundational component of MSU's CORE 2.0.

University Studies is the largest program in University College, the newest of MSU's eight colleges (Agriculture; Arts & Architecture; Business; Education, Health & Human Development; Engineering; Letters & Science; Nursing; and University College).

One of the objectives of University Studies is to contribute to a successful first year for MSU undergraduates. Through professional academic advising and high-quality seminar instruction, we help students understand the possibilities and responsibilities of the academic experience through an exploration of their interests and goals and the development of intellectual knowledge and skills.

Our office also coordinates the National Student Exchange program, which assists students in arranging a year of study at one of more than 150 colleges and universities across the country--while seamlessly maintaining progress toward an MSU degree.

We also house the Undergraduate Scholars Program, in which students undertake a funded project in research or creative activity in collaboration with an MSU faculty mentor.

Whether you are a prospective student, parent, current University Studies major, or faculty member--or are simply interested in finding out more about what our program has to offer--we invite you to explore our website. If you would like to talk with a member of our staff, please contact us. We are here to help students succeed.
