Lewis & Clark College, a private liberal arts institution based at 615 S. Palatine Hill Road in Portland, Oregon, has formally registered as a foreign non-profit corporation in Montana, according to records from the Montana Secretary of State's office.

The college — which should not be confused with any of the Helena-area institutions that share the names of the famous expedition — offers undergraduate and graduate programs and is a well-established school in the Portland area. Out-of-state colleges sometimes file this type of registration to facilitate student recruitment, employ in-state staff, or conduct other official business within Montana.

The specific purpose of the registration was not detailed in available Secretary of State filings. Residents seeking more information about the college's Montana activities can contact Lewis & Clark College's admissions or administrative offices directly.
