The "Caring for Our Own: A Reservation/University Partnership", or CO-OP program, is a nationally recognized partnership of university nursing educators with tribal leaders, reservation-based educators and native health professionals, many of whom are graduates of MSU in clinical practice and health care administration on the reservations. We are looking for students who would like to provide the very best health care available to their own people and are willing to pursue university-level education in order to do so.
Students are admitted to Montana State University into Pre-Nursing. You are admitted to Nursing once you have been accepted to Upper Division (junior and senior level nursing courses) with the College of Nursing's application for upper division placement.
