You don’t need another university telling you why they’re great. So, we flipped the script. We made a website that’s adapted to what you want. Think of it like a compass for your individual UM journey. Let’s see where we can go together.

For most students, cost of attendance is among the most important considerations when weighing your options for higher education. Luckily, we are experts at helping sort through the details!
The UM experience is different for each student, but for every Grizzly it is defined by a unique combination of community, well-being, inclusivity, engagement and support.
At the University of Montana, our faculty aren’t just teachers: They’re committed mentors who re-imagine how to best deliver curriculum and who possess a passion for helping students forge their own way in academic and professional settings.
'I transferred to UM'
UM junior Joe Bentle transferred to UM in fall 2022 after earning his associate's
degree in his home state of Illinois. Joe shares why he chose UM and what the transfer
process was like for him.
The best stories are made in Montana
Students begin their journey to succeed at UM, but the path they forge extends beyond
the state line, across the nation— and around the world — spreading Montana spirit
far and wide.
Next steps
