The Composite Materials and Structures Center is one of the foremost facilities for the study of polymer composites and is internationally recognized for its contributions to composite science and engineering.

AgBioResearch (formerly the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station or MAES) engages in innovative, leading-edge research that combines scientific expertise with practical experience to generate economic prosperity, sustain natural resources and enhance the quality of life in Michigan, the nation and the world.

The Institute of International Health (IIH) at Michigan State University has a deep commitment to improving the quality of life in resource-poor and disadvantaged communities around the world. In pursuing its goals, IIH works closely with MSU's International Studies and Programs to apply academic and research methodologies to global health issues. As the focal point at MSU for global health programs and outreach, the Institute fosters and administers global health research programs and projects for MSU faculty and students that not only enhance learning and cultural competency at MSU, but also benefit underprivileged communities in numerous countries around the world. Founded in 1987, the Institute will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2012.

The Institute for International Agriculture coordinates both academic and nonacademic units to continue building an international dimension in ongoing programs of teaching,  research, and extension. Programs include collaborative research with host country scientists; providing consultant services to international research organizations, foreign government agencies, and others; serving as guest lecturers; and hosting faculty and researchers from host country institutions.  Many projects include training components, bringing international students to MSU master’s and Ph.D. programs and for short-term non-degree programs.

The Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program has been developed to meet the challenges of educating U.S. Ph.D. scientists and engineers with interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge in chosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills. The program is intended to establish new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.  It is also intended to facilitate diversity in student participation and preparation, and to contribute to a world-class, broadly inclusive, and globally engaged science and engineering workforce.

The Language Learning Center provides media services, computing and audio-visual facilities, and consulting in the use of technology to support language teaching and learning, as well as research.
