Getting in
Admission requirements
- International undergraduate admission; optional ACT/SAT and mathematics placement use: The Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education has ended the requirement that students provide ACT or SAT test scores for admission to its campuses. This change is effective immediately and for the foreseeable future. If you have ACT or SAT test scores, please submit them. These scores can be used in place of a supplemental assessment administered through MSU to determine math placement. (Official source snapshot 2026-10-08; conditions and exceptions as quoted).
