With multiple campuses located in the largest city in the state of Montana, MSUB and the community of Billings offer a unique, fulfilling and safe university experience for international students.

Campus Life

Life on the main campus mirrors that of Billings: students are happy to mingle on some of the 110 park-like acres at the base of the spectacular Rimrocks or take part in a variety of cultural, service, athletic or educational activities. International students will find challenges that fulfill both individual goals and societal needs.
