Your time at Michigan State University is more than just your degree—it’s your moment to immerse yourself into new ideas and discover jobs and opportunities you never knew existed.

Your Future Starts Here.

Thousands of creative careers await you after graduation, but your journey to land the job of your dreams can start right here at MSU. Practical, professional, and paid experiential learning opportunities in the arts provide MSU students of all majors with pathways to build viable careers and to network with creatives from around the country in ways that are fully integrated with the Spartan experience.

MSU alumni that worked in the arts on campus have gone on to careers with the Brooklyn Museum, Live Nation, Peabody Essex Museum, and more. And students that have gone on to careers outside of the arts carry with them critical, foundational skills that are intrinsic to arts and cultural work.
