The Spartan Bus Tour is an opportunity for MSU faculty and administrators to visit locations throughout Michigan to build community connections and strengthen the university’s commitment to education, research, outreach and extension.
Previous tours have traveled to the Upper Peninsula and portions of northern Michigan as well as the western Lower Peninsula, metro Detroit and Flint and the bay regions.
From Oct. 26-28, 2026, the Spartan Bus Tour Regional Route will head to the southern Lower Peninsula. Sign up to be notified when the application opens in July.
Spartan Bus Tour formats
The Spartan Bus Tour program takes two trips each year, the Regional Route and the Local Loop.
