At Montana State University, we like to think outside, but not just because we are so close to wilderness. We like to think outside because we are creators, researchers, artists, and thinkers breaking boundaries in over 250 fields. Our Indigenous student population of over 800 is at the center of this creative community, and our ancestors have long come to this dynamic place to learn, to grow, and to be inspired. Today’s graduates leave MSU with a degree and the tools to address some of the planet’s most important challenges.

We are accepting applications for undergraduate admission, graduate school, professional school, as well as summer internships from students interested in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields, as well as the Social Behavioral Sciences (Sociology, Psychology, Linguistics, Forestry, Community Sustainability, Communication, Anthropology, etc.). Post-doctoral and Post-baccalaureate opportunities are also available in various departments.
