Four Bear Program

The goal of the program is simple: to help students graduate from UM in four years.

Enrollment in Four Bear is free and there are no requirements to sign up other than students' commitment to graduate in four years.  First-year, full-time Mountain Campus students are automatically enrolled in the program and can choose to opt out, while transfer students with less than 30 credits are eligible to sign up.
