Michigan State University, a public research university located in East Lansing, Michigan, is one of the top 90 schools in the U.S. Only 18 years after Michigan officially became a state, on February 15, 1855, Governor Kinsley S. Bingham signed legislation to establish Agricultural College of the State of Michigan. It opened two years later, and later became Michigan State University. Originally, MSU was one of the first colleges in the nation to teach scientific agriculture. Today, the campus sits on 10,000 acres of land, and its motto is “Advancing Knowledge. Transforming Lives.” Notable alumni include entrepreneur Eli Broad, basketball player Magic Johnson, actor James Caan, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow and Harvard professor of Sociology Theda Skocpol. The school colors are green and white, its mascot is Sparty the Spartan and its sports affiliation is NCAA Division I – Big Ten. Michigan State Spartans football won six national championships, the men’s basketball team won the NCAA National Championship twice and the ice hockey team won NCAA titles three times. Varsity sports offered include men’s football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, cross country and golf, and women’s basketball, golf, cross country, gymnastics, and swimming and diving.
