Although it may be extended, the deadline is currently set for February 15, 2001. MSUB is a federally funded program that prepares high school students for success in college, especially in the areas of math and science, and costs the student no more than the trip to and from Dillon, Montana. Students must be freshmen, sophomores, or juniors at time of application in February of each year. Students live in campus housing for much of the six-week session in June and July. While in residence, students take courses specially designed for them.
Students work on outdoor research projects.
Montana is a great place for the application of math and science in field-oriented study. Although this approach to learning is fun in itself, the group will break away for career, cultural, and campus exposure and recreation. The focus of field research in the coming summer is likely to involve fossils in the Fort Peck, Montana, area. Students from last year made life-long friends, encountered new ideas, and are excited to apply for another summer with the program. Facilities are provided by Western Montana College.
