Backpacks here serve double duty.

Make history at UM. Literally.

Sometimes it’s research in a biochemistry lab and other times it's revitalizing endangered languages. Sometimes it’s something you never knew you could research. What history will you make? That’s up to you.

Knowledge? Yeah, we know a thing or two.

There’s more to the University of Montana than our mountainous academics … but, let’s face it, they’re pretty impressive. From finance to welding to forestry to law — we offer you more than 175 academic programs to summit success.

Big Things Are Happening Here

At UM, we approach everything with creativity because that’s what this evolving world needs. We are stewards of this place, its history and our future. We know of no better place than Montana and its university to make a lasting impact on the common good.

Get Grizzly With It

We love every inch of Big Sky Country, but our Grizzly community — and the town of Missoula — is where the magic happens.

Discover your student experience

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.

Land Acknowledgement

The University of Montana acknowledges that we are in the aboriginal territories of the Salish and Kalispel people. We honor the path they have always shown us in caring for this place for generations to come.
