MSU and Africa

For more than six decades, Michigan State University has been a leader in research, education, outreach, and partnership across Africa. Since helping establish the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1960, MSU has built enduring collaborations with African universities, research institutes, governments, civil society organizations, and communities across the continent.

Today, hundreds of MSU faculty, students, staff, alumni, and partners contribute to initiatives that advance knowledge, strengthen institutions, and address shared global challenges.

Africa@MSU serves as the university's gateway to Africa-focused scholarship, partnerships, education, and engagement.
