Of the 17 colleges at MSU, 3 are considered Residential Colleges: James Madison College for Public and International Affairs, The Residential College in Arts and Humanities, and Lyman Briggs College for students interested in science and math based majors. Each of these 3 colleges is housed inside a residence hall where many of their students reside while on campus. These buildings feature classrooms, computer labs, help rooms, dining halls, faculty and advising offices, and much more. Each program has limited enrollment, which keeps class sizes small and allows us to offer personal attention to each student. Within the residential college setting, there is a sense of community shared between students, faculty, and staff. Many students say that attending a Residential College at MSU gave them a small college experience without sacrificing the amazing opportunities that come from studying at a world class public research institution like Michigan State University.
