As one of the nation’s top research universities, MSU prides itself on making breakthrough discoveries and finding practical solutions that improve people’s lives, from the cancer-fighting drugs cisplatin and carboplatin to key ingredients in Tamiflu. By expanding research funding and providing more opportunities for graduate and undergraduate student involvement, the possibilities for research are endless—and so is our vision.

MSU is the only university in the country with three medical schools – the College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Human Medicine and the College of Veterinary Medicine – as well as the College of Nursing.

The College of Osteopathic Medicine, established in 1969, was the first medical school of its kind to partner with a public, four-year institution. The College of Human Medicine has been in existence since 1964 and both colleges now are recognized nationally for excellence in training primary care physicians.

Veterinary science courses have been taught at MSU since its founding in 1855, and the college was formally established in 1910. The College of Nursing offers classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels, a doctoral program, and a number of online courses to address the nation’s nursing shortage.
