About Montana State University – University Studies

Sometimes new college students choose majors for the wrong reasons: they feel pressured to make a decision; they're worried that they don't have career plans; they feel they need to select a major that will help them make a lot of money; they want to just opt for something off a list and be done with it. Most of the time, these students end up changing their major...sometimes more than once.

In University Studies, our focus is helping MSU students explore their options before declaring a major. Because our students thoughtfully select classes and consider their options, our students tend to stay in the major they eventually declare at a higher rate than those who enter MSU in a declared major

“I liked being able to work on campus with other people in my major. This was my first job that was relevant to my major, and it was fun to finally put what I've learned to use. What surprised me was how much I was able to learn from this job. I feel like this job has been more useful than some of the courses I have taken. The job taught me so much just within the first couple weeks. I would not feel as prepared for my Senior Design class had I not gotten the experience I got this summer, and am still getting. I also enjoyed being able to meet so many other people. Being able to work with some professors here on campus and some coworkers across the country, I have met a lot of people and gotten a lot of outsourcing. ”
