Montana State Psychology

The Department of Psychology at Montana State University is excited to announce the establishment of three new endowed funds made possible through the generosity of three remarkable donors.

These gifts will support our students pursuing degrees in psychology, provide fellowships for our psychology graduate students, and help the department address current and emerging priorities in teaching, research, and student success. This type of support makes a profound difference in the lives of our students and in our ability to advance psychological science.

A small number of committed donors can have an extraordinary impact, creating new opportunities for our students, our research, and our future – while creating a lasting legacy for generations to come.

We are deeply grateful to these three donors for investing in the people and ideas that drive our department forward.

One of the most common questions students have is "What can you do with a Psychology degree?" The answer is broad because psychology can open a lot of doors. Here's a few of the more common career areas that your degree in psychology might take you to.

Looking for a PhD program in Psychology or know someone who is? Take a look at our graduate program here at Montana State University.

We are an R-1 [research intensive] university, in beautiful Bozeman.

(Please note that we do not offer degrees in Clinical or Counseling Psychology)
