Montana's Two-Year College Initiative
Comprehensive Two-Year Mission Workgroup
From the shared mission and vision for two-year education, this workgroup will develop goals and strategies for MUS two-year colleges in Butte, Billings, Great Falls, Missoula, and Helena to adopt the attributes of the comprehensive community college by Fall of 2013, including rebranding and renaming them. In addition, support will be provided to Gallatin College MSU and Bitterroot College UM as they continue their respective evolution toward comprehensive two-year colleges.
