Missoula College

Transcript

It’s time to hop across the river and visit Missoula College. This building opened in 2017 en-houses academic programs that specialize in workforce training. Let’s meet Jesse, a nursing student who found her calling and flourish with support from the Missoula College Community.

– Hey everyone, thanks for the introduction and welcome to the Missoula College River Campus. Like most new college students, I needed some time to figure out what I really wanted to study. So I started out here at Missoula College, taking my general education credits. After taking many classes, I clicked with nursing and soon I’ll enter the RN program here. I love the fact that Missoula College offers a smaller learning environment. It’s made me more comfortable asking questions in class, and Missoula College is different too, because the goal here is to prepare you for successful career, not just obtain a degree. We’re inviting and supportive of students from all backgrounds. I’m a single mother and the support and encouragement I’ve received here is what has allowed me to accomplish my goals. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the workforce training that’s available here. There’s hands-on learning opportunities in multiple different programs, including construction and industrial trades, healthcare, information technology, social sciences, business, legal studies, and culinary arts. There’s actually an amazing restaurant run by the culinary students here in Missoula College. And it’s one of my favorite places for quick meal between classes. At Missoula college, you can access all of the same services that students on the main campus receive, including on campus living, attending athletic games, and even taking a couple classes at the main UM campus every semester, it’s a great value. This campus is one of my favorite places, I spend most of my time in the anatomy lab or studying or socializing at one of the desks overlooking the river, or even enjoying a nice walk outside in between classes. It’s a great mental break to prepare you for your next class. Thanks everyone back to you, Alex.

– Thanks for that inside look into Missoula college. Jesse, good luck with nursing school. The University of Montana offers such a variety of educational pathways for students from all walks of life. This certainly is a very special place to attend college.
