University of Montana Western reports significant increase in enrollment

University of Montana Western enrollments have increased 44.3 percent over the past ten years, according to a Montana University System report released at last week’s Board of Regents meeting in Great Falls.

UMW Chancellor Richard Storey said the growth represents the highest among Montana four-year institutions. Montana Tech was second with an increase of 19.6 percent.

Montana Western is the only four-year public university in the U.S. offering Experience One, a block scheduling program, where a student takes one class at a time, for three hours a day, for about three weeks before moving onto the next course.
