Residential College in Arts and Humanities
The Residential College in the Arts and Humanities is a residential college at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, United States. Founded on October 21, 2005, the college provides around 600 undergraduates with an individualized curriculum in the liberal, visual, and performing arts. Though all the students in the program will graduate with the same degree, only the first year programs and MSU prerequisites are mandatory for graduation. The college encourages its students to get a second degree or specialization in a program outside RCAH. The new college is MSU's fourth residential college, after James Madison College, the Lyman Briggs School, and the now-defunct Justin Morrill College. Although early proposals named the college after Nelson Mandela, university officials had not decided on a permanent name, saying that it was still too early to fix a permanent name to the college.
