Why Glasgow, Montana?
Glasgow is a warm, welcoming small town in northeastern Montana – the kind of place where locals wave to strangers and the sunsets stretch forever. You’ll be minutes away from Fort Peck Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States, perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking and lakeside barbecues on your days off. Explore the Fort Peck Dam & Interpretive Center, hunt for dinosaur fossils in the badlands, catch a summer rodeo, or take a road trip to Glacier National Park and Yellowstone. If you want the real, unfiltered American West – not a tourist postcard – this is it.
About Montana
Montana is big-sky country - Yellowstone, Glacier National Park and endless mountains. Most students work in park lodges, resorts and gateway towns, surrounded by some of America's most dramatic nature.
