Different paths, shared destination

Welcome to Montana Tech! Known as "Harvard on the Hill", Tech was founded in 1900 as the Montana School of Mines to fill the growing need for resource managers and engineers - an objective we have stayed true to this day! Our high quality STEM programs consistently reach top national, regional and state rankings that measure return-on-investment or performance on professional licensure examinations.

A lot has changed since 1900, including our students. Though many of our buildings are a century old, we work to accommodate students with disabilities while preserving historic integrity. Starting in 2026, many of our oldest buildings will undergo much needed renovations to ensure they are accessible to all.
