Astronomy at the University of Montana is exclusively undergraduate. This provides a unique advantage in that undergraduate students interested in research wont be pushing a broom around a grad lab theyll be engaged in all research activities at the highest level. This means UM's astronomy students graduate with more hands-on and in-depth experience than offered by larger, graduate-level physics programs.<br><br>There's no better classroom for astronomy than the state of Montana and the University of Montana. Our mid-size status means more opportunities and affordable tuition. But more so, our mountain campus emphasizes community within our beautiful location, surrounded by miles of starry night sky. If you feel passionate about astronomy, like to take advantage of a lack of light pollution and favor a mountain scene or two you will not be alone at the University of Montana.
