View requirements & Apply

You can choose courses that you're interested in and courses to prepare you for your major. Students are advised to talk with an academic advisor to determine the best courses to take.

We recommend that students consider courses in MSU's general education program. General education courses are foundational courses that meet degree requirements for every major offered at MSU.

Some college courses have prerequisites. These are requirements that a student must complete before registering for a specific course to help ensure student success. A specified ACT composite or subscore, a placement test score, or completion of a specified prerequisite course can meet these requirements—the course descriptions in the University Catalog list these prerequisites. Visit the MSU Testing Center to learn more about placement scores and testing.
