What Students Are Saying
I just completed my first semester at University of Great Falls and feel the University is an outstanding school. Every professor is willing to go the extra mile to help you succeed. The students and faculty are a tight knit community and I feel right at home attending this school even though I am over 2,000 miles away from home.
Nico from Hamilton, NJ
It is a very tight-knit school and community with many opportunities to make new friends! The class sizes are small and it is very easy to talk to your teachers one on one. It is also very easy to get involved with your community and around the campus with varies activities happening every week.
MacKenzie from Ewa Beach, HI
The University of Great Falls, Montana, has great science, education, psychology, and criminal justice programs. This school is also very small, capping class sizes at 20 people, yet it still has very many successful clubs and sports programs. Even though this school is so small, it is still A.P.A. certified, so i would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
William from Spokane, WA
An amazing school with small class room sizes. Helpful teachers that would go the extra mile to help you pass. Many degree options to choose from.
