DESCRIPTION

The University of Montana (UM) Skaggs School of Pharmacy is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and has its professional program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. It is located in Missoula, a community of approximately 70,000 persons. The Skaggs School of Pharmacy is the only health professional school located on the Missoula campus. Strong support programs are offered by the physical, biological and behavioral sciences and the clinical facilities available in the city are excellent. In addition, the relatively small size of the Skaggs School of Pharmacy offers the student an opportunity to develop and maintain closer relationships with the faculty members and with fellow students.

Located in Western Montana, halfway between Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, The University of Montana offers unique opportunities for outdoor activities. Student organizations are as varied as the individuals on the campus itself. Students may enjoy various major athletic events, regularly scheduled concerts, and fine arts performances. UM offers ten dormitories with a variety of options for on-campus residents.

The University of Montana has mandatory residency requirements, requiring freshmen to live on campus during their first year. Family housing is available for families with at least one adult member attending The University full-time. The family housing units range in size from studio to four-bedroom apartments.

The UM has ten fraternities and four sororities within walking distance from campus. Students also may choose to live in religious living groups or rental units within the Missoula community.
