Preparing for Your College Experience at MSU Dubai

    If you are considering earning your bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University, you should pursue a college preparatory curriculum that at a minimum includes:
  • 4 years of English (composition and literature)
  • 3 years of math (2 years of algebra, 1 year of geometry, and 1 higher-level math course)
  • 3 years of social studies (history, anthropology, economics, geography, government, political science, psychology, or sociology)
  • 2 years of science (biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science)
  • 2 years of a single foreign language

If you are lacking in one of these areas, your application will still be considered. However, a less rigorous curriculum could put you at a disadvantage.

MSU encourages students to take honors, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate courses when possible. It is preferable for students to fill course schedules with a majority of core academic courses each marking period, including four each semester during their senior year.
