UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA WESTERN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

710 S Atlantic St Dillon, MT 59725 (406) 683-7331 www.umwestern.edu/

INSTITUTION OVERVIEW

The University of Montana Western is a small, public university located in Dillon, MT. What sets Montana Western apart from other institutions is the unique class schedule called Experience One. This is a block schedule that engages students and faculty in actively exploring the knowledge, purposes, and practices in every field of study.

Experiential learning opportunities make up the heart of Experience One, or X1 for short.

Here's how it works. While still running on a semester system, students can complete four courses while only taking a single course at a time. Each course will last about 18 school days and students will typically be in class for about three hours each day. Taking four courses or ""blocks"" during the semester will allow students to earn the same amount of credit as under traditional multiple-class systems. The bottom-line is that students truly experience their education through concentrated, active learning. They'll have an advantage as they enter the workforce or continue on with graduate studies because their portfolio will already contain real-world educational experiences and projects. These projects often help the community at the same time by providing key services and contributing to ongoing research studies.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW Average class size at Montana Western is 15 and classes are capped at 25.

Experience One, Montana Western’s block scheduling, is very unique in today’s postsecondary educational system. It’s demanding, but very successful. Students graduate with real experience to use for jobs or graduate school.

Montana students can apply to Montana Western for free at any time through our online application at https://apply.umwestern.edu/apply. Students will also need to submit a current high school transcript and immunization records, with two doses of MMR, to complete their application file.

Students may choose to attend one of our Campus Preview Days held in March.

Students may schedule a campus tour on most weekdays at 9 AM or 1PM. To schedule a campus visit, call (877) 683-7331 or visit: https://apply.umwestern.edu/portal/campus-visits.

We offer 5 full-tuition scholarships to Montana students. The Chancellor’s Leadership Scholar’s Award needs a 3.6 cumulative GPA and a 26 ACT / 1260 SAT. #1 - Best Academics in Montana by Niche.com | #15 - Best Regional Colleges (West) by U.S. News & World Report | #5 - Top Public Schools - Regional Colleges (West) by U.S. News & World Report 99% acceptance rate for completed applications Montana Western has the most affordable tuition in the state.

Montana Western offers unique, hands-on programs. For example, students can earn degrees in Natural Horsemanship and Glass, or minor in Farm and Ranch Operations or Outdoor Industry Business Management.
