Salary and Debt by Major at The University of Montana

We calculated a Salary Score for each of The University of Montana's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at The University of Montana to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program.

The History Department doesn't care about their students on a fundamental level. Requirements and standards don't apply to everyone. Instructors play favorites with students and consistently overlook or completely forget others. I felt robbed of an opportunity for dedicated scholarship.

The Physical Therapy school does an amazing job preparing its students for careers in the field of Physical Therapy. They care about how their students are doing and make sure that individual learning is optimized for each student. The faculty are experts in their specific fields within PT with leading research and in direct patient care . Because of the clinic on campus faculty are able to have current information in both research and the direct PT to patient interaction.
