That means we don't divide ourselves into several separate science departments that each have their own priorities. Our department is one in which biologists, chemists, physicists, and earth scientists all work together to design and administer the best possible academic programs for our students. That is part of our commitment to providing you with an excellent training within your major that is complemented with exposures to other science disciplines as well. Because of that, our graduates are experts within their major, but are also well-rounded thinkers who can approach and solve problems with broad knowledge and skills. We offer the best of both worlds.
Some students value personal interactions with their instructors.
They want to be known by name and be able to sit down with faculty members and learn from them in person. At MSU-Billings, we offer the best of both worlds. Small class sizes allow us to focus on our students as individuals and make their learning experience more personal than at larger universities. The faculty at MSU-Billings are also active researchers. Because of this, students are exposed to science on a first-hand basis.
