The MSU A-CAPP Center's student program exists to empower the next generation of leaders in brand protection and anti-counterfeiting through its experiential education program. By providing students with hands-on experience, cutting-edge research opportunities, practical skills, and access to industry experts, the program equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to combat the growing threats of fake products in places like social media or in online shopping.

The Flint Community Initiative (FCI) prepares and invests MSU’s most vital resource — the time, gifts and talents of students passionate to make a difference — to engage in meaningful work in nonprofit community organizations in Flint while providing our students with a unique opportunity to develop skills in hands-on, collaborative community development projects.

InnovateGov prepares and delivers MSU’s most vital resource — talented and motivated students — to Detroit’s civic institutions while providing our students with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to do real, impactful, and equitable work on the city’s most critical social problems.

The Social Science Scholars Program offers its students more opportunities, support, and one-on-one investment than any other undergraduate program in the United States. Each year we recruit diverse, close-knit cohorts of incoming freshmen and rising sophomores who wish to learn in small groups, conduct research, get to know their faculty, find excellent internships, study abroad, and take on leadership roles on campus and in the community.
