VISITORS

The Montana Center for International Visitors welcomes over 170 international visitors annually. Our visitors come from very diverse backgrounds, ranging from young to mature of almost every continent. They have interests just as widespread. The visitors travel on themes proscribed by the United States Department of State. MCIV schedules meetings with local citizens who can speak to the professional interests of the visitors. Montana, with its rich natural, mining and agricultural history, attracts many visitors seeking to understand the impact of these characteristics on our lives. We also host visitors who are interested in topics spanning from law enforcement to child adoption policy. There is a vast field of opportunities for our visitors.

Past international visitors have gained new and interesting insights on American culture and practices. Hear about them in their own words:
