Michigan high school students who have completed the state-approved Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Education Program in their schools and have received the State FFA degree may receive six MSU college credits toward the completion of a MSU certificate.

MSU Student Benefits

Students are considered MSU students and have full access to academic support services, health services, and library services.

SMC ag students who complete the MSU certificate receive preferential admittance to SMC.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

The MSU/SMC partnership makes earning a MSU certificate more affordable, as students are able to take SMC courses—and pay SMC's low tuition rate—for a portion of the program. MSU courses are charged at MSU’s tuition rate.

Scholarships and financial aid are also available.
