The Residential College in Arts & Humanities (RCAH) is a new residential college being set up at Michigan State University in East Lansing Michigan. Founded October 21, 2005,[1] the college will provide around 600 undergraduates (150 students per undergraduate class) 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 will encourage its students to get a second degree or specialization in a program outside RCAH.[2]The new college will be 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,[3] university officials have not decided on a permanent name as of 2006, saying that it is still too early to fix a permanent name to the college.[4]

[edit] Snyder-Phillips renovation

RCAH classes will start in Autumn 2007 in the Collegiate Gothic Snyder-Phillips Residence Hall. Built in 1947, Snyder-Phillips once housed Justin Morrill College. MSU is currently renovating the dormitory to make room for the new college. Along with a new dining hall and upgraded bathrooms, the expanded Snyder-Phillips will include a 150-seat multipurpose classroom and performing arts space, a student art gallery, a Wi-Fi-enabled coffeeshop, music practice rooms, and a language learning center.[5]
