Welcome to Montana State University-Northern!

We know that college is about more than just getting that fancy piece of paper. It's about getting HIRED after you graduate. That's where we come in. After graduation, our students go on to earn 50% more per year than graduates of all four year colleges in Montana. Combined with a job placement rate of 94%, the numbers show that Northern provides an education that works!

In addition to earning more post-graduation, you can also have less debt after college with our affordable tuition. Our tuition is among the lowest in Montana and well below the national average.

This combination of post-graduate earning potential and low tuition is why MSU-Northern is the #1 school in Montana for economic mobility, and #15 in the nation. That means that we have a high number of students that start college in the bottom 20 percent of income distribution and reached the top 20 percent. Our education at Northern is one that works for EVERYONE.
