Opportunities to Innovate

Montana Tech graduate students have unparalleled opportunities for hands-on discovery and application, driven by global challenges that require a multidisciplinary perspective. Many of these challenges arise from real-world problems that originate from a legacy of mineral and energy
extraction in the region. Both out-of-class research and in-class projects led by our graduate students will help usher in the new clean energy revolution without the environmental legacy of past extraction practices. At Montana Tech, students are the center of the educational experience, and both M.S. and Ph.D. students have opportunities for fellowships and assistantships.

Opportunities for Funding

The majority of on-campus thesis students at Montana Tech receive a graduate assistantship, that includes a tuition waiver and a living stipend. These assistantships allow our students to combine thesis-based research with student employment to fund the degree. These opportunities are increasing, and Montana Tech anticipates a significant increase in funded graduate research assistantships (GRA) positions for Fall. The GRA funding is available to both M.S. and Ph.D. students. Select projects available for Fall are related to advanced manufacturing, and identification, recovery, and processing of rare earth elements. These opportunities are available to students in civil, geological, mechanical, and mining engineering, materials science, and geochemistry, among others.
