Funding Goals
The College of Education, Health and Human Development is at work in every corner of Montana.
We are actively serving six of Montana’s seven Reservations.
Our research, training, and health promotion work are helping communities change. Through education and training we are helping Montanans lead better lives.
Many of our graduates choose to remain in Montana as teachers, community service workers, and nutrition experts.
