As a land-grant university, Montana State University has a proud tradition dating back to our founding in 1893 of serving students from all corners of our state and world. Montana State University strives to advance the ideals of human worth and dignity for all, and we are dedicated to creating a community that embraces a rich mix in the composition of its student body, staff and faculty.

Our mission continually reminds us that the university was created to broaden access to education and promote opportunities for all learners. Access goes beyond attracting a diverse set of students to enter through our doors. Once students become Bobcats, we support them to develop a sense of belonging, make mentor connections, take advantage of available resources, and ultimately see themselves as part of the MSU community. Our offices take this access mission seriously, implementing student support services and seeking strategies for removing barriers to improve both academic and personal outcomes.
