What is the Fundamentals of Montana Municipal Government online course?
This article provides an overview of a six-week online course on Montana municipal government, including who can participate, how the course is structured, and what participants can expect.
Offered each spring and fall, this six-week online course provides a foundation in the roles and responsibilities, laws, guidelines, and best practices that shape municipal government in Montana.
The course is designed for municipal elected officials and administrative professionals, but anyone interested in learning more about Montana’s municipal governments is welcome to register and participate.
Participants complete six units over six weeks, working through one unit per week in a cohort format. These small groups encourage dialogue and discussion while avoiding the risk of creating quorums.
Each unit includes required readings, two discussion forum posts, and a quiz. Participants should plan to spend approximately two to three hours on each unit.
Municipal clerks and treasurers may earn up to 12 hours (6 points) of education credit toward MMCTFOA and IIMC professional development certifications, with 2 hours awarded for each completed unit. The course may be taken only once for credit.
The course fee is $50 per person. For more information, please visit the course homepage on our website: Fundamentals online course homepage
