Overview
"Innovative, Versatile, Relevant, Cutting-Edge, Student-Friendly,
Flexible, Professional, Exciting." These are some of the words
used to describe Tech’s Business and Information Technology
(BIT) degree.
BIT truly is a degree designed for the twenty-first century. What
will strike the student entering this program is its dynamic balance
between traditional business coursework and information technology
requirements. The curriculum integrates business and computer applications
in much the same way as today’s most successful, innovative
businesses. Graduates work at the interface of business and information
technology, enabling them to pursue a variety of career paths. Preparation
from the course curriculum encourages and supports the need for
continuing education of working professionals. The recommendation
of sitting for a professional examination of the student's choosing
reinforces this. Graduates from the business program will be instilled
to understand and honor the concepts of ethics and diversity in
the workplace The curriculum includes all of the pre-professional
courses required for admission into most Master of Business Administrations
(MBA) programs.
The BIT degree offers students three educational options:
- Business Information Systems
- Management
- Entrepreneurship
The Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Business is also available
through the department. This customized degree provides an opportunity
for individuals having an Associate of Applied Science degree to
apply a larger block of credit to a baccalaureate degree.
Students not enrolled in the BIT program can choose to obtain one
of two minors in Business Administrations: Accounting or Finance/Management.
A minor in Business Administration is a valuable addition to an
engineering or other technical degree. Students should check with
an academic advisor to determine if the electives within a particular
discipline can be fulfilled with business courses.
Students in the Helena area can enroll in upper division courses
taught by Montana Tech at the University of Montana - Helena College
of Technology. Montana Tech's "Helena Program" enables
students to obtain a four year business degree while working full-time.
