Great Falls—51ÊÓƵ MSU will host two information sessions on Tuesday, October 10 for high school students, their parents and community members to learn about the 1+3 Engineering transfer program.

The 1+3 Engineering transfer program is a partnership between 51ÊÓƵ MSU and Montana State University Bozeman where students can earn the first year of engineering credits from 51ÊÓƵ MSU and then transfer those credits to Montana State University Bozeman to complete the final three years of their engineering degree.

In the morning, local and regional high school students will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from MSU Bozeman’s College of Engineering, 51ÊÓƵ MSU and local engineers who will present and answer questions about the engineering programs.

Then at 5:30 p.m., in Heritage Hall, Montana State University and 51ÊÓƵ will provide information on engineering opportunities available, followed by a question and answer period. All prospective students, their parents and community members are invited to attend and learn more about the engineering profession, MSU Bozeman’s College of Engineering and the 1+3 Engineering transfer program available at 51ÊÓƵ MSU.

The success of the 1+3 Engineering transfer program has opened the door for students to begin their pursuit of any of the engineering degrees offered at MSU Bozeman here at 51ÊÓƵ. Those degrees include:
• Biological Engineering
