Description

Montana State University (MSU) was founded in 1893 in Bozeman, Montana. Bozeman is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, near Yellowstone National Park and surrounded by blue-ribbon trout waters, world-class skiing and unspoiled wilderness in every direction. MSU is the state’s land-grant university, with a mission to educate students, create knowledge and art and serve communities by integrating learning, discovery and engagement. Over its 125-year history, the university has grown from its original class of eight students to today’s more than 16,000 from across the United States and over 70 nations. Sports, MSU’s annual American Indian Council Pow Wow and outdoor recreation facilitate avenues for education, exercise and entertainment for faculty, staff and students, creating invaluable experiences that last a lifetime.
