About L&S
 The College of Letters and Science is the largest center for learning, teaching, and research at Montana State University, offering students an excellent liberal arts education in 45 majors, 25 minors, and over 25 graduate degrees. Within the four areas of humanities, natural sciences, mathematics, and social sciences, the College of Letters and Science prepares students for the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century through its dedication to the ideals of a liberal arts education. This "renaissance" approach to education continues to attract growing numbers of students who recognize the value of a liberal arts education in a rapidly changing world.
The College is a place of serious intellectual activity, with an outstanding faculty dedicated to excellence in teaching and scholarship. Many are well known nationally and internationally for their contributions to their field. Because senior faculty members regularly teach undergraduate courses, students have the opportunity to work with truly distinguished teachers.
Additionally, faculty members in the College of Letters and Science have an impressive record for winning highly competitive national grants to support research and scholarship, with over $25 million in research grants last year. Undergraduates benefit from opportunities to work directly with faculty on original research and scholarship, an experience that is elsewhere often available only to graduate students.
L&S graduates report impressive employment success with nearly three quarters of them employed upon graduation and the other quarter attending graduate school, medical school, or law school. Graduates work for such dive rse agencies and companies as the Los Alamos National Laboratories, U.S. Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and Digital Equipment Corporation. Recent graduates of the College of Letters and Science are attending graduate or professional school at Harvard, Brown, MIT, Columbia, the University of Washington, and the University of California at Berkeley.
