Welcome, high school guidance counselors and teachers!
You play a key role in providing students with information regarding their educational decisions. You may know students who have strong interests in math and science and great potential for engineering. These students need your help deciding which engineering program is right for them and working through the application process. Thank you for encouraging creative, analytical students with good problem-solving skills to consider the Engineering College at Michigan State University. It’s an exciting time to become a Spartan!
