The admission process at Montana State University (MSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the university’s website or the Common Application, paying a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts and standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are required, though test-optional policies may apply. Transfer students must submit college transcripts.
Additional materials, such as letters of recommendation or a personal statement, may be requested for specific programs. Deadlines vary by term, with priority given to early submissions. Once reviewed, applicants receive an admission decision via email, followed by financial aid and enrollment steps if accepted.
