S-STEM Seminar Course

In order to participate in the S-STEM scholarship program at MSU you'll need to be enrolled in the one credit hour seminar course each semester the class is offered (fall only).

The seminar will meet once a week to discuss research, internships, employment, and study skills. Faculty and practitioners from each major will be brought in to the seminar to discuss current affairs and local concerns of each field.

Students are required to volunteer for 4 hours and attendance is part of the grade.
