Prospective Students

Choosing a major can be a daunting task, and we aim to make it easier by offering resources and services to help you make an informed decision based on self-awareness and an understanding of academic fields and career opportunities.

We encourage prospective students to explore the diverse majors available at MSU and engage with faculty in various academic departments to learn about the courses and projects linked to each major. Additionally, schedule a meeting with a career advisor during your first semester on campus to discover the wide range of career paths open to you based on your chosen major.

If you plan to visit campus, feel free to contact the Career Center to arrange a meeting with a career advisor during your stay. Explore our website to learn more about how we support MSU students and alumni.
