Missoula

Missoula is a vibrant community with great diversity providing many opportunities for new businesses, families and individuals seeking to experience the Montana quality of life. Located in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, Missoula is one of the west's most sophisticated smaller cities.

Missoula is home to the University of Montana which was founded in 1893. Since then students have been provided with a high-quality, well-rounded education and training for professional careers in the University’s three colleges - arts and sciences, forestry and conservation, and technology - and six schools - journalism, law, business, education, pharmacy and the fine arts. Located at the heart of Western Montana’s stunning natural landscape, UM is a magnet not only for top-notch teachers and researchers, but also for students from across the country and around the globe. A city within a city - with its own eateries, stores, medical facilities, banking and postal services, and zip code - UM has an increasingly diverse population and rich culture.

Missoula’s uniqueness has been recognized a number of times in the recent past:

• Named "Best Community in the West" - Sunset Magazine.
• 11th best small place for business and careers - Forbes Magazine.
• Sixth-best city in the country - Men's Journal.
• First place for cities with populations under 100,000 - Men’s Journal.
• Fourth place among best adventure towns - Men’s Journal.
