Once you’re ready to apply, this is where it all begins. Prospective international students should submit an online application as soon as possible in their final year of secondary school (high school) and by Nov. 1 for maximum scholarship consideration.
Michigan State University continues to accept undergraduate applications as long as space is still available. However, the number of qualified applicants has exceeded available space in recent years, so students should apply early to ensure highest consideration. Most students enter in the fall semester. Admission to other semesters may be limited, if available at all.
Select the option that is right for you, but only submit one application for admission. MSU has no preference for which application type you select (MSU, Common or Coalition). Applicants who apply through the MSU application will receive an applicant ID that allows them to save their progress and submit when they are ready.
Note: If you have studied at any college or university after graduating secondary school (high school) you must apply as a transfer student.
Note about Common App: MSU will start loading Common App applications in mid-August. You will receive an email with login instructions within 2-10 business days after your application is loaded.
