University Highlights

Montana State University, established in 1893 in Bozeman, is the largest and most comprehensive university in Montana. MSU offers a wide variety of excellent undergraduate and graduate programs to approximately 12,000 students from across the United States and around the world. MSU is especially known for high quality programs in the fields of agriculture, architecture, business, computer science, engineering, film production, nursing, and the sciences. The university attracts over US$95 million annually for research and creative activities, and MSU is in the top tier of research universities in the United States under the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classification that recognizes MSU as one of 94 research universities with "very high research activity."
