School leaders say 17,500 students are enrolled this fall semester, including the largest freshman class in the university’s history.The university reports 3,970 first time students enrolled this fall, increasing the student population by 1.8%.“Students choose Montana State because we believe that they see Montana State as a place where they can transform their lives and realize their dreams and potentials,” said Michael Becker, Spokesperson for MSU, “providing our students with the tools that they need to succeed and helping them to find their path through higher education,” said Becker.With the student population on campus growing as a whole, Becker and I spoke about how MSU is ensuring classroom space, housing, and student services keep pace with enrollment.“What that means is that this is manageable growth that we can handle in our classrooms and which we handle inside of our residence halls. Yes, we have full residence halls for the most part. There's a little bit of room on the top and yes, our classrooms are active in busy places, but that's really where we want to be as a university. We want to be a full energetic and vibrant university and Montana State University in 2026 is just that,” Becker said.Digging a little deeper, I asked Becker whether more in-state or out-of-state students are enrolling....and let's just say it's a tie between the two.“We're about 50-50 overall for Montana State residents versus non-resident students. We have admissions people working out there visiting those towns talking to students and we really want them to come so we're very proud of that number we're proud to enroll more Montana students at MSU than any other institution in Montana has in their enrollment and we hope that continues,” Becker said.As MSU’s student body continues to grow, more graduates will be prepared to meet the state's future workforce needs.</div></body>
