Originally founded as a mining school, Montana Technological University continues to provide access to high-quality education opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The university also offers a fully online bachelor's program in nursing along with two online master's programs in industrial hygiene and project engineering and management. On-campus students can choose from associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in subjects such as cybersecurity and health information technology. The Butte campus also hosts an annual research and design expo, a public lecture series, and the Center for Advanced Mineral, Metallurgical, and Materials Processing. In addition to high school transcripts, undergraduate applicants must submit ACT or SAT scores. Generally, prospective students must maintain a high school GPA of at least 2.5 to earn admission, though the university makes exceptions for applicants with strong test scores. Incoming students can apply for a host of scholarships, including the Marie Moebus Presidential award, which provides both an in-state tuition waiver and a $6,000 cash supplement.

students stayed to continue their studies the following academic
year. These students started in Fall 2019 and returned in Fall
2020.
Graduation Rate Insight
47% of students
graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their
