Research at Montana State University

Research is one of the fundamental building blocks of the majority of the graduate work conducted at Montana State University. Most of the graduate degrees awarded require students to conduct original research which is then presented in theses, dissertations, or published articles. The Division of Graduate Education is fortunate to be associated with a number of outstanding research centers and programs on the Bozeman campus and beyond. The availability of faculty and facilities through the various centers and programs allows graduate students the opportunity to conduct the high level, in depth investigation of their subject of interest. The Research, Creativity & Technology Transfer website can be found at http://www.montana.edu/wwwvr

• Brief descriptions of MSU's Research Centers & Programs are available through the Research Creativity and Technology Transfer web site at www.montana.edu/wwwvr/centers_programs.html.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs):

• Students have had the option to post their theses and dissertations on the world wide web http://etd.lib.montana.edu/etd/view/ since Fall 2003.
