Montana Colleges Summary

As one might guess from its relatively small population, Montana has a relatively small number of colleges and career schools. It is one of only 12 US states with fewer than 40. It is also one of only six US states with fewer than 50,000 students. Less obvious is that a relatively small percentage of Montana's population attend colleges or career schools - under 5.4%.

More than half of these schools are public, and nearly 90% of their students are enrolled in a public college. It is common for a significant majority of students to be going to a public school, because this includes all state sponsored schools and community colleges. However, only five US states have a higher percentage of their students attending public schools than Montana.

Based on the above data, it should not come as a surprise that very few students in Montana go to for-profit schools. In fact, Montana is the only US state with less than one percent of its students enrolled in such schools.

Montana has only two colleges with more than 10,000 students. The largest of these is Montana State University with over 17,000 students, with locations in Bozeman, Billings, and Northern Montana. The next largest college is The University of Montana with over 13,000 students.
