Montana State University (MSU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, with priority deadlines to ensure consideration for scholarships and housing. The fall semester priority deadline is December 1, while the final deadline is August 1. Spring semester applications are due by December 1.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, typically ranging from January to May for fall enrollment. Some departments enforce earlier deadlines for funding opportunities. International students should apply at least three months prior to the semester start to allow for visa processing. Always verify program-specific deadlines on MSU’s official website, as dates may vary by department.
