2013 goldwater scholar Montana Tech
environmental engineering student, Joseph Mitzel, was awarded a 2013
Goldwater Scholarship. This is the fourth Montana Tech student to
receive this honor.
success Montana Tech’s Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscope
(NSOM) was successfully demonstrated by Dr. Jack. L. Skinner,
Assistant Professor at Montana Tech. This tool is capable of dual NSOM
probing, along with conductive atomic force microscopy and confocal
microscopy. Montana Tech’s NSOM is an important addition to the
recently approved Materials Science Ph.D. program, namely in the area of
nanotechnology.
GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH Montana Tech
associate professor Michael Masters, Ph.D. is investigating the etiology
of juvenile-onset myopia through the analysis of modern human variation
in the neurocranium, frontal cortex, and eye in myopes and emmetropes.
Dr. Masters, along with undergraduate students in biology, nursing,
occupational safety and health, and computer science departments at
Montana Tech have spent the last year working on this research project.
military friendly G.I. Jobs has awarded Montana Tech
the designation of Military Friendly School, for the fourth year running.
The 2014 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 20 percent of
colleges, universities, and trade schools that are doing the most to
embrace America’s military service members and veterans as students.

Originally chartered as the Montana State School of Mines, Montana Tech has evolved into a dynamic institution composed of the School of Mines & Engineering; College of Letters, Sciences, & Professional Studies; Highlands College; Graduate School; and the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology. Prior to 1951, the college offered Bachelor of Science degrees in only five areas. Today, the collegeoffers10certificateprograms,17associatedegrees, 23 bachelors, and 10 masters programs. The Institution which now has an enrollment of over 2,800 students, provides these graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary for successful lives and careers, conducts basic and applied research, and provides related services to the citizens of Montana and beyond.
Overlooking the city from the shoulder of Big Butte, Montana Tech’s north campus can be seen for miles. Its tree-shaded perimeter encloses both the stately buildings of the Institution’s past and the modern facilities reflecting its present and its future.
Since its inception, Montana Tech has come a long way. The university has maintained an onward and upward tradition, which has earned it a reputation as one of the finest science, engineering, and technical colleges in the country. The exceptional job placement rate of graduates and the success stories of alumni, combined with the low cost of attendance in a highly personalized environment, attest to both quality and value. Stressing a deep focus on achievement, Montana Tech provides the opportunity for students to beINDEMAND.

RICHEST HILL ON EARTH
Butte was one of the largest cities west of the Mississippi for generations. In its heyday,
between the late 19th century and about 1920, it was one of the largest and most
notorious copper boomtowns in the American West. Known for electrifying America, the
Mining City produced over 320 million tons of copper which was used for the wire and
equipment that helped launch the U.S. into the modern age.

CARRYING TRADITIONS FORWARD In 1900, the Montana State School of Mines opened its doors with total enrollment of 21 students. Early curricula at the Montana State School of Mines were designed around two degrees: Mining Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Thus, mining became the mainstay during the college’s formative period.
MIDDLE YEARSIn1943,theMontanaSchoolofMinesexperiencedagreatimpactfromWorldWarIIwhenitofficiallybecameaNavalCollege.Shortlyafterthewarended,actingpresidentFrancisThompson embarked on a program that was destined to modernize the Montana School of Mines’ curricula. Overall, what took place was a general freeing-up of curricula so that students had not only more technical electives, but also more options in the humanities and social sciences. The modern College was born and in 1965 became the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology. Enrollment increased from 303studentsin1957to998studentsin1971.
TECH TODAYTheMontanaUniversitySystemwasrestructuredin1994and one of the major components of the restructure was that Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology would become affiliated with The University of Montana. As a result of this, the name was changed to Montana Tech of The University of Montana. Today, the university is known as Montana Tech and boasts enrollment of more than 2800 students on its two campuses.
TheNorthCampusoffersfouryearandgraduatedegreesinthe areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. The Highlands College offers associate degrees and certificate programs, continuing education, and customized training. The student body presents a national and global snapshot with over39statesand14foreigncountriesrepresented.MontanaTech emphasizes teamwork, collaboration, and hands-on learning and has a long-standing reputation for producing outstanding graduates.

As an incoming freshman in the Petroleum Engineering
department, I chose Montana Tech for many reasons.
I appreciated its stellar reputation for job placement upon
graduation. My parents loved its affordability. I also loved
its small town location and its wonderful outdoor recreation
opportunities. But what really sold me on Montana Tech
was how encouraging and supportive all of my interactions
have been. The relationships that I have developed during
my visits to Tech have been overwhelmingly positive.
Everyone, from the students, professors, and staff to
even the residents of Butte, seem to be behind you. For
me, it is the ideal place to be.
