Standard One: Mission and Goals
Through a continual commitment to innovation and student success, the University of Montana Western combines theory and practice with a focus on real-world, experiential learning.
Experience One, Montana Western’s unique block scheduling program, provides faculty with the opportunity to fully engage students for significant blocks of time in the classroom, in the field, and in the community on projects with profound, tangible outcomes.
Active international and community outreach programs extend learning beyond the campus, and a proactive approach to interdisciplinary collaboration and technological mastery keeps Montana Western students on the cutting edge. (Click for a complete PDF of Standard One.)
