Welcome to the website for the College of Nursing at Montana State University. Our college offers a variety of educational programs that prepare our graduates for the exciting, rapidly changing world of health care. This website will provide you with information about those different programs as well as about the college and faculty in general.
The college has four main campuses and one outreach site. Our baccalaureate program is offered at each of those sites but follows the same curriculum. The educational experiences offered to students at the different sites may vary somewhat, but are always excellent and consistent with the curriculum. Our statewide master’s program prepares nurse practitioners and educators through distance delivery methods. One meeting a year is held on the main campus in Bozeman.
Faculty in the college are not only excellent teachers but also accomplished researchers. The range of their scholarly interests is broad but mostly focuses on rural health. The activities of scholars is supported by the Office of Research and Scholarship within the college.
Our students are high achievers and are well prepared for professional practice. Graduates of the baccalaureate program consistently pass the NCLEX licensing examination at a rate well above the national average. Every single one of the graduates from the family nurse practitioner program has passed the national certification exam on the first try.
If you are interested in joining us as a student or a faculty member, do not hesitate to call or e-mail. We would be eager to tell you more about the college and nursing as a career.
Again, welcome to our web site.
