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 middle and high school students (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.
Faculty/Instructors:
Each GATE Program is instructed by MSU professors. GATE works with award winning professors from the Department of Romance and Classical Languages, the Department of Mathematics, the Department of English and many more. 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 far beyond the student's school curriculum. Professors consistently hold students to a high level of academic accountability while offering academic support to provide students with the tools they need to succeed.
Campus Accommodations:
Each GATE residential 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 in the Arts and Humanities. Students will reside in the same location as their classes, labs and cafeteria.
Residential students will have access to numerous campus facilities, accompanied by one of our Residential Assistants. This includes computer labs, the IM pool, gym, track, the MSU Dairy Store, the MSU Historical Museum, The Kresge Art Museum, the Abrams Planterium, the MSU Observatory, the MSU Gardens as well as the dorm facilities.
