Programs for Gifted Children at Michigan State University

Office of Gifted And Talented Education-MSU, Michigan:
The Office of Gifted and Talented Education has been providing programming for academically able students for over 20 years. We offer academic year and summer programming for students in grades 7 - 12. Our purpose is to provide high-quality programs for bright students that they will not find at their home schools. We collaborate with numerous department and colleges on the MSU campus to ensure that students work with highly regarded faculty and outstanding facilities.

In recognition of MSU's strong support of study abroad, we offer programs that travel to China and Africa. These programs begin on campus with classroom instruction followed by travel. Students work with a variety of instructors learning about the culture, history, language, religion, arts and humanities of the country they will visit.

We recognize that gifted students sometimes require financial support. Many of our programs offer partial scholarhips.

Each GATE Program is instructed by MSU professors. Many courses have support assistance from area high school teachers working within their area of accrediation. Student attend class followed by lab work using MSU facilities. All curriculum content offered goes beyond the student's home school curriculum. Professors hold students to a high level of academic accountability.

Each GATE Program is assigned to a MSU dormitory located close to classes. Students in the High Achievers program will reside in the newest residential college, The Residential College for Arts and Humanities. Students will reside in the same location as their classes, labs and cafeteria.
