Montana State is one of only 96

institutions, out of more than

4,400, that meet the Carnegie

Foundation for Higher Education’s

criteria for the highest research

classification. MSU is the only top

tier research institution in the five-

state region of Montana, Wyoming,

Idaho and North and South Dakota.

research activity is comparable

to prestigious universities like

Cal Tech, Harvard, Berkeley, the

University of Washington and the

h igh l igh ts Bozeman and the Yellowstone region

No place is quite like Bozeman, a friendly, laid-back Rocky Mountain college town that’s small enough to have its own personality, but with all the amenities of a larger city. You’ll find stores like REI, Borders, World Market, Old Navy and Macy’s, plus fun local shops and restaurants, coffee houses and great concert venues. Bozeman also has big-city cultural attractions including a symphony, opera, and theatre and ballet companies.

Forests and wilderness areas surround Bozeman. The Gallatin National Forest has 2,200 miles of trails, 1,740 miles of fishable streams and rivers, and 700 high-mountain lakes and reservoirs surrounded by dense timbered valleys and rugged peaks.

Hyalite Canyon, just minutes from campus, offers world-class hiking, mountain biking, rock or ice climbing, canoeing and camping.

The Bridger Mountains, north of town, have great hiking and mountain bike trails, along with incredible vistas.

Yellowstone National Park, just 88 miles from campus, is a great place to discover amazing natural thermal features and towering waterfalls, view abundant wildlife and explore canyons, forests and peaks.

Bozeman’s free Streamline buses will take you anywhere in town, from campus to downtown—and even to Bridger Bowl, Big Sky and Moonlight Basin ski areas.

go fo r i t An amazing natural setting

Bozeman is an all-season adventure hub. In winter, you can choose from three downhill ski areas (one only 20 minutes away, and the others less than an hour). Bozeman’s groomed public Nordic trails let you leave class and try out your cross-country skiing skills without leaving town. In the summer you can float or fish the world-famous Madison, Gallatin or Yellowstone rivers.

A lot of colleges and universities have great professors, challenging academic programs and successful graduates. But few have all that and an environment that just makes you feel good to be alive. Whether your peak experience involves extreme athletic pursuits or quiet contemplation surrounded by the natural beauty of four mountain ranges, national forests and rushing rivers, you’ll find it here.

Transworld Snowboarding and Skiing magazines listed MSU as a top institution with close proximity to world-class skiing.

You’ll get truly helpful advice Whether you are changing majors, exploring your options or have settled in a field that suits you, you’ll benefit from the expertise of professional academic advisors who can provide assistance each step of the way. Because 30 percent of our incoming students are

“exploring,” or undecided on a major, we’ve developed innovative programs to help students discover their interests, select a major and stay on track to graduate in four years.

You’ll get a well-rounded education MSU’s CORE 2.0 is a unique inquiry- and research-based curriculum, required for all students. CORE 2.0 ensures exposure to a broad range of disciplines and a research or creative experience from four areas: the arts, humanities, natural science and social sciences.

You’ll learn how to succeed Every MSU student takes a First Year Seminar class, which introduces critical thinking, reading and writing at the university level, and eases the transition to college. To benefit exploring students, the seminar is closely integrated with academic advising. The freshman seminar will help you develop critical reading and writing skills so you can get started on the right track.

What was your first impression of MSU? I was walking down the mall on a spring day and I loved how people were sitting on the grass between classes. People were talking to friends and they all looked so happy to be at MSU.

Why did you choose to attend MSU? I love the location and moving far from home was a great choice that made me step out of my comfort zone.

The “M” trail located at the mouth of Bridger Canyon on the south flanks of Baldy Mountain, was created by MSU students in 1915. The 250-foot whitewashed rock “M” has two access routes. The right fork follows the ridge for a short and steep hike. The left fork switchbacks through a fir and juniper forest, making a more gradual ascent. The left fork is the beginning of the Bridger Mountains National Recreation Trail, a 21-mile ridge route following the contours of the Bridger Range to spectacular alpine Fairy Lake.

mile in 3:59.17—the first sub four-minute mile on Montana soil—at an open meet in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. “Nobody at MSU has ever run that fast in the mile,” said head track and field coach Dale Kennedy. Casey thinks he will major in exercise

science. He’s worked hard in school, earning a spot on the Academic All-Star Team, which requires a minimum grade point average of 3.25.

“Whatever he chooses, he’ll work hard and be successful,” Kennedy said. “He has an inner confidence and a lot of humility. That’s the sign of a true champion.”

Financial aid is money to help students pay for college. The money comes from the federal government, state governments, the university, and a variety of other public and private sources.

• Scholarships • Grants • Tuition waivers • Loans • Student employment

Need-based Financial AidMost financial aid is awarded on the basis of need. There are three types of need-based aid:

GrantsTypically grants do not have to be paid back. Federal grant programs include Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant.

LoansLoans are borrowed money that has to be paid back over a period of time after you leave school. Federal loans and programs include Federal Perkins Loans and the Federal Stafford Student Loan Program, which include Federal Stafford (subsidized and unsubsidized) Loans and Federal Stafford PLUS Loans for parents of dependent students.

Work StudyMoney you earn by working at a part-time job is called “work study.”

Need-based Financial AidApplying for need-based financial aid is a straightforward process.

• Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

• The good news is that there is no deadline. However, to be considered for the widest range of financial aid, MSU’s priority deadline

for filing the FAFSA is March 1 (for the following fall semester).

• The results are sent to the colleges you listed on the FAFSA form, so be sure to list MSU’s school code 002532 on your application.

• Once we receive your FAFSA information, we may contact you if any additional information is needed.

• Your financial aid eligibility will be sent to you based on the information you provide.

• Financial aid offers have an expiration date, so be sure to accept or reject the offers. If you don’t respond by the deadline for need-based aid, the award will be cancelled.

• Once you are accepted for admission and have registered for classes, you will receive a bill listing your charges and the financial aid you accepted. You’ll just need to confirm your attendance with University Student Accounts Office to arrange payment.
