Expanding Gallatin College Programs will benefit the region, say administrators and community members

A need exists in the Gallatin Valley for additional two-year and one-year educational programs, and both employees and employers in the area and surrounding region will benefit from expanded offerings, according to community leaders and administrators of Gallatin College Programs http://www.montana.edu/gallatincollege/ at Montana State University.

"Over the last 10 years, Gallatin County has been the fastest growing region in the state, and demand has outpaced our two-year educational offerings and other workforce training programs," said Bob Hietala, dean of Gallatin College Programs at MSU.

Last May, the MSU-Great Falls College of Technology in Bozeman was renamed Gallatin College Programs (GCP) http://www.montana.edu/gallatincollege/ to more accurately reflect their location and offerings. All of the courses have been, and will continue to be, taught in Bozeman.
