About This School

Great Falls College Montana State University is a public institution located in Great Falls, Montana with approximately 828 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,632 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Great Falls College–Montana State University is a public community college in Great Falls, Montana. It is affiliated with the Montana State University System and offers Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Associate of Science (AS), and Associate of Arts (AA) degrees as well as several Information Technology Certifications.

This is a solid, affordable option for students looking to launch a career or transfer to a four-year school on a tight budget — at just $10,632/year net price and a median debt of only $7,992 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. However, be clear-eyed about the outcomes: median earnings of $33,800 a decade out reflect the associate-level, career-focused programs here, so it's best suited for students targeting specific local trades, healthcare, or IT fields rather than those expecting broad salary growth. Worth considering if you want an affordable, practical credential in central Montana without taking on significant debt.
