The University of Montana (UM) is the public flagship university of Montana (United States), located in Missoula, a small city of about 80,000 people in the west of the state. Chartered in 1893 and accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities since 1932, it has more than 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students and holds R1 ("very high research activity") status. Besides the main Mountain Campus, it includes Missoula College, a two-year college with campuses in Missoula and Hamilton.

UM offers associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, in person and online, with around 500 degree pathways and a student-to-faculty ratio of 17:1. At graduate level there are 32 doctoral degrees, 71 master's degrees and 11 graduate certificates, including law, pharmacy and physical therapy.

International students apply for undergraduate study through the Common App. Applicants below the English score for full admission can enter through a pathway or conditional admission. International first-year and transfer students admitted in full to the Mountain Campus are automatically considered for academic achievement scholarships. Residence halls for single students and apartment villages are available on campus.
