    Research and scholarship are vital to the UM experience and they central to our mission as an R1 institution and Montana's flagship public research University. Most University researchers teach students directly in the classroom, and more than 300 students work laboratories or other sectors of UM's research enterprise.

    Creating an Accessible Environment for all

    All UM employees are enrolled in a set of required trainings through our new learning system, NEOED Learn. The trainings will take approximately two hours total to complete, and employees will have six weeks to finish them. Employees will receive an email from NEOED Learn with a direct link to log into the courses they are required to complete. These trainings are required because they help ensure that as a university, we are supporting our employees, creating an accessible environment for all, and fulfilling the legal responsibilities that guide our work.

  • New students visit on campus during UM's student orientation.
