Fifty-nine per cent of these faculty members hold doctoral degrees. The University of Montana is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The seven professional schools, including business administration, education, fine arts, for estry, journalism, law and pharmacy, are all accred ited by appropriate national organizations. More than 40 buildings are contained within the limits of the 116-acre main campus on the eastern edge of Missoula. The University owns an additional 624 acres on Mt. Sentinel. A short distance south of the main campus is a 154-acre area holding 394 married students housing units and a nine-hole golf course.
