Participating Departments
- Computer Science
- The department was founded in 1969, and in 1984 began to offer a master's degree. The Computer Science Department's undergraduate program at The University of Montana was accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Commission (CSAC) of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), a specialized accrediting body.
- Communication Studies
- The Department of Communication Studies at The University of Montana-Missoula focuses on three broad areas of study: interpersonal interaction and human relationships, organizational and institutional communication, and rhetoric and public discourse. The knowledge and skills the student may acquire in each of these areas are important to functioning effectively in one’s personal life, at work, and as a citizen of the larger society in a rapidly changing world.
- Integrative Microbiology and Biochemistry
- The University of Montana created the Division of Biological Sciences in 1988 by consolidating a number of programs. The departments of botany, microbiology, and zoology were combined with the biochemistry faculty to form the only division within the College of Arts and Sciences
- - Microbial Ecology Emphasis
- Mathematics
- The undergraduate program in the department receives a great deal of attention from the faculty. Nearly all courses from Calculus and up are taught by regular full-time faculty members. Class sizes are kept reasonably small. Faculty members are easily available to undergraduate majors.
- Organismal Biology and Ecology
- The study of ecology has a strong field orientation with course offerings with organismal, ecological, and conservation biology. This option is designed for students seeking employment with government agencies such as National Biological Survey, U.S. Fish Wildlife Services, environmental consulting agencies, or continuing their education at the graduate level.
- Wildlife Biology
- Wildlife Biology at The University of Montana is a joint program between the College of Forestry & Conservation, the Division of Biological Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. Consequently, our students receive course work in both theoretical and applied aspects of wildlife ecology and conservation; many opportunities for hands-on experience also exist.
