Our Mission:

CISGS provides MSU undergraduates with educational opportunities for non-scientists to understand 1) ways scientists investigate and draw conclusions, 2) results of this mode of enquiry, using selected examples, 3) social impact of science in its historical context and 4) the kinds of questions science can and cannot answer.  This understanding provides students with a knowledge base for becoming tomorrow's scholars and leaders in service of Michigan, the nation and the international community.  This knowledge will allow MSU students to address critical problems of the 21st century.
