The University of Montana has seven professional schools: Business
Administration, Education, Fine Arts, Forestry, Journalism, Law, and Pharmacy
and Allied Health Sciences. Each school has a specific focus designed to develop
professionals through specialized course and practical training. At the same time,
the professional emphasis is balanced by a broad background in the liberal arts
and sciences. Each school also maintains contact with professional organizations
in its field and provides leadership through research and service to the state of
Montana and the nation.
The professional schools, each administered by a dean, have both graduate and
undergraduate programs with the exception of the School of Law which is a
graduate school only. The professional schools concentrate on degree programs
which ensure that a student will be professionally qualified to function in his or
her chosen field, both as a successful practitioner and as a critical and informed
citizen. The quality of the professional schools is reflected by the number of
graduates who move on to excellent positions in their chosen fields.
