Dairy Academy

The MSU Dairy Education Academy was established in 2023 to provide high school students and their families a chance to come to campus and explore the educational opportunities to study dairy at Michigan State University. During the two day program, students:

Explore the practical, hands on learning opportunities offered to dairy students.
Learn about the dairy degree programs, courses, and potential career opportunities.
Meet and network with MSU Dairy Education Program professors and students.
Visit a dairy farm and discover the career opportunities within the dairy industry.

This competitive program is hosted in the Fall of each year with applications opening around August. Hotel and meal expenses are covered for students and their families through the Michigan Dairy Memorial Scholarship Foundation.

Updates for upcoming programs can be found on our Facebook page.
