Rocky Mountain College, located in Billings, Montana's largest city, operates from a 60-acre campus nestled against the Rimrocks geological formation. The private liberal arts institution, established in 1878, traces its origins to the merger of three frontier colleges and maintains historic ties to the United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, and United Church of Christ. The college offers undergraduate programs with particular emphasis in aviation, equestrian studies, physician assistant studies, and environmental science, while operating its aviation program at nearby Billings Logan International Airport. Residential students are housed in five campus dormitories, and the college competes in the NAIA Frontier Conference as the Battlin' Bears, particularly in skiing and volleyball.
