If You Could Major in ‘Montana’ Here’s What You’d Have to Study

We're in a back-to-school mood.

We're counting down to Griz season and we're reminiscing about school traditions. Since we're thinking about school, we thought we'd do a spin on a topic we often explore.

This is another fun way to find out how "Montanan" you are. Last time, we asked how Motnanan you were based on how you react to this picture. Now, we're asking, would you make the grade? If you could major in "Montana" would you pass these "classes?"

With a major in "Montana" I could easily see a person getting a minor in "the West" or "Hillbilliology." Check out this entirely made-up curriculum for getting a bachelor's degree in "Montana."

MT 103- How to Wave Like a Montanan

MT 113- An Introduction to Montana Breweries and Distilleries

Now, of course, a major in "Montana" would also require elective courses. Finance 320- Property Tax, Sales Tax would be required along with courses like:
