University of Montana
This place will blow your mind
Big Sky, bigger possibilities. Our campus is in the middle of paradise, better known as Missoula, Montana. The only thing grander than our mountains and wild rivers is the opportunity for our students to use their unbridled curiosity and untamed creativity to craft their future.
Founded in 1893, the University of Montana is a top-ranked research university whose impact is felt locally and globally. Grizzlies go on to find success abroad and at home, known for their courageous and collective spirit unmatched on either side of the Rockies. The academic opportunities at UM abound, ranging from undergraduate and associate degrees to professional and graduate programs, as well as certificates.
Wherever Grizzlies Roam, They Thrive
