It is an institution committed to making history by better positioning today's students for meaningful lives in the globalizing economy of the 21st century.Our Mission is to provide a challenging and richly diverse learning environment in which the entire university community is fully engaged in supporting student success. To provide an environment that promotes the exploration, discovery, and dissemination of new knowledge. To provide a collegial environment for faculty and students in which discovery and learning are closely integrated and highly valued, and to serve the people and communities of Montana by sharing our expertise and collaborating with others to improve the lives and prosperity of Montanans.
Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Bozeman is truly a remarkable community. The Bozeman area at large encompasses over 50,000 people with backgrounds and cultures as diverse as the Montana landscape. From cattle ranchers to high tech engineers, the area is home to a breed of people who have come to appreciate an unmatched quality of life. While retaining a small town feel, Bozeman prides itself on offering community activities and programs typically available only in larger, metropolitan areas. Combine the wide array of resources with an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities and it's easy to understand why Bozeman ranks as one of the nation's most liveable cities.
