DescriptionThe university was founded in 1932 by Bishop Edwin V. O'Hara to fill the need for an institution of higher education in Great Falls and the central Montana area. Since 1935, the college has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges for the granting of, at first three, and then four-year diplomas and graduate degrees. The present campus opened in 1960. Providence Tower, the main campus landmark, was constructed in 1964, and the McLaughlin Memorial Center, a spacious physical education and recreation facility, was added in 1965. The University of Great Falls pioneered long-distance learning in Montana and now covers more than 300,000 square miles, serving students throughout Montana, Canada and Wyoming. The institution achieved university status on September 8, 1995 and the name was changed from College of Great Falls to the University of Great Falls.
