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.

Digger Hunt.

LATE NIGHT BREAKFAST

During fall and spring semester finals week, Montana Tech faculty and

staff pull out their aprons and jump behind the counter in the Dining Hall

to cook breakfast for around 200 students late at night. The tradition

of cooking breakfast allows a time for the students to wind down and

the campus to show their appreciation for the students hard work and

determination.

Montana Tech and is held no matter if it is sunny, raining, or snowing.

TRICK OR TREAT OFF THE STREET

The Montana Tech residence halls open for children in the area to have

a safe place to trick or treat. Students in the halls decorate and hand out

candy for hours on Halloween.

PAINTING THE “M” Each spring, Montana Tech students trek up to the Montana Tech “M” on

Big Butte to pour a fresh coat of white paint on the rocks. The event is

part of M Days at Tech, a springtime celebration.

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.
