FY26 Strategy Annual Report
At the University of Montana, we believe that public higher education should be both excellent and accessible. We pursue that ideal through intentional strategic thinking, decision-making, and execution of change initiatives.
In recent years, deliberate strategic thinking and execution have built real momentum. After a decade of declining enrollment, UM has seen enrollment growth, for five consecutive years. More than 10,000 learners also engage in non-credit education and training programs. We have evolved academic programming to meet societal needs, achieved R1 research status, and rebuilt a vibrant campus atmosphere in the wake of the pandemic.
This annual report reflects a university that is growing, adapting, and leading with purpose as we work to shape a brighter future for Montana and the world.
