As a state institution, UM operates on a biennial (2-year) basis. Decisions made by the Montana State Legislature and the Montana University System Board of Regents have a direct bearing on our institution. UM is accountable to taxpayers concerning our use of state resources.

The University of Montana transforms lives by providing a high-quality and accessible education and by generating world-class research and creative scholarship in an exceptional place. We integrate the liberal arts and sciences into undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies to shape global citizens who are creative and agile learners committed to expanding the boundaries of knowledge and to building and sustaining diverse communities.
