MSU's inquiry and research-based curriculum inspires exploration and creativity, and ensures exposure to a broad range of disciplines. Every student participates in a research or creative experience from one of four areas: the arts, humanities, natural science and social sciences. Designated as one of 96 research universities with "very high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, MSU offers significant opportunities for research, scholarship and creative work. This highest tier classification-out of 4,400 institutions-distinguishes MSU as the only institution in the five-state region of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and North and South Dakota to achieve this level of research prominence.
