Graduate Degree Programs

Choose your path to discovery

Graduate programs in the sciences at MSU are organized around traditional disciplines, as well as nontraditional dynamic partnerships that evolve when faculty from different areas come together to solve new sets of problems.

Collaboration and customization are at the core of our graduate studies. Students are encouraged to explore their individual interests in the many areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The environment at MSU is welcoming, with flexible prospects for students to enhance their education through opportunities that only a major research institution can provide.
