Montana State University Billings History

Montana State University Billings was established in 1927 as Eastern Montana State Normal School. Since that time all the institutions of higher education were located in western Montana, the University was designed to serve the needs of eastern Montana, especially with respect to preparing teachers for elementary schools. In 1966, the institution's name was changed to Eastern Montana College and in 1994, with the merger of the Billings Vocational Technical Center, it became Montana State University Billings. The University has grown with the city of Billings to become the major higher education center in south-central and eastern Montana. Today the University is the third largest of the six units of the Montana University System. The University consists of six academic colleges: the College of Allied Health Professions, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Education, the College of Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning, and the College of Technology.
