Adult Learners

MSU Billings has many options to support busy adults who wish to return to college.  We are pleased to be able to offer an opportunity to take college courses via the internet as a way of overcoming barriers of time and place.  Our students have told us they need the ability to reach their academic goals in an environment that affords them freedom and flexibility, comfort and convenience, and more time for work and family.  By combining our commitment to Access and Excellence with the technology that allows students to “Learn Online… Anywhere…Anytime,” this program ensures that students can achieve personal, professional, and academic goals without sacrificing the other things that are important in life.
