Save the date! Montana State University will be hosting STATE Days for Montana rising seniors this summer on July 30 – 31, 2026. Since being founded in 1893, MSU has been dedicated to the mission of education, research and outreach, and providing access to life-changing higher education that has the potential to transform lives and communities. In honor of this mission, MSU is excited to host our campus preview program exclusively for rising seniors from the state of Montana.

Students graduating high school in 2027 are encouraged to sign up for this program to get a headstart on their college search process. STATE Days is a free program that gives students the opportunity to experience campus, explore academic majors, learn about the admissions process, and apply to MSU while getting a chance to stay on campus in the MSU residence halls.
