Infusing the Arts and Sciences

The Center for the Communication of Science (CCS) is the first of its kind in the Northwest of the U.S. and is based at Montana State University within the College of Arts and Architecture.   Through the formal integration of the arts and sciences, we plan to generate new knowledge, as well as work towards closing the gap in public understanding of science.

Get Involved

CCS produces dynamic, original work that communicates science to the public. If you are interested in finding out how you can become part of the Center for the Communication of Science or are looking to collaborate in research, education or dissemination, click here to get involved.
