All 7 bachelor's programs, ranked
Each figure is the median for the program's graduates. "Rank in Montana" compares first-year pay with the same field's bachelor's programs across Montana. Programs that don't report a figure are listed last when you sort by it.
Program names link to the program's own page, and Montana ranks link to the full ranking for the field. A program gets its own page when it reports both pay and debt and at least five Montana programs in the field do too.
Some nursing bachelor's programs are for nurses who are already licensed and working (RN-to-BSN). College Scorecard counts them with programs for new students, and their graduates' pay reflects years of nursing experience, so high pay at a program here may not mean higher starting pay for a new nurse.
One more bachelor's program reports debt but not pay, so it isn't listed.

About this data
- Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid, and earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school.
- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Tuition, net price, graduation rate, and admission rate are for the whole school, not one program.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of Montana rankings when their main campus is in another state.
- Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago.
