Message from the CEO/Dean Dr. Susan J. Wolff “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” Walt Disney Great Falls College Montana State University – a college “on the move.” Great Falls College Montana State University continues to be “on the move.” The college’s 7-Year regional accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities was reaffirmed July 2015.
