Chancellor's Welcome

Dear Students,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Montana State University-Northern. We are thrilled to have you join our community, and we look forward to helping you achieve your goals and dreams.

One of the things that sets MSU-Northern apart from other universities is our commitment to providing practical, hands-on programs that prepare our students for success in their chosen careers. We believe in turning your passion into a rewarding profession, and our faculty are dedicated to helping you achieve your academic and career goals to make that happen. You will receive the personal attention and support you need to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Our high job placement rates speak to the effectiveness of our programs, and we are proud to say that our graduates are in high demand in their respective industries. In addition to our impressive job placement rates, we are also proud to report high upward mobility rates for our graduates. This means that our students can move up the career ladder quickly and achieve greater success and financial stability throughout their lives.

Our university also places a high value on collaboration with industry partners. This means that our programs are designed to meet the needs of the industry, and our students have the opportunity to work with professionals in their field of study. This kind of hands-on experience is invaluable and gives our students a competitive edge when it comes time to enter the workforce.

MSU-Northern also places a high priority on student life, and we offer a variety of clubs, organizations, and social events to help you connect with your peers and form lasting friendships. Our close-knit community ensures that you will have the opportunity to collaborate with others and build relationships that will benefit you long after graduation.

One of the most exciting student-focused initiatives we have in the works is the new Aurora Complex. This state-of-the-art health and recreation building will have everything students need to enjoy themselves and connect with their community. Some of the planned features include a rock-climbing wall, fitness and wellness rooms, and a black box theatre. The Aurora Complex is currently in the planning stages and will be coming to campus soon.

I hope that you will take advantage of all that MSU-Northern has to offer and that you will make the most of your time here. We are dedicated to your success, and we look forward to watching you grow and thrive during your time at our university.

Sincerely,

Greg Kegel
Chancellor
