The building is also home to the Department of Entomology’s Bug House. The MSU Bug House has both pinned and live insects and arthropods. The campus community and the public can schedule tours to learn more about these creatures — and you can even hold live insects as you learn! 

Research from day one

There are no prerequisites for undergraduate research, meaning students can begin participating in research at any time.
