Honors Program

Honors students bike ride — The honors program students rode through Durant Canyon, which is closed to the public, where Dr. David Hutchins (former faculty, Metallurgical Engineering) taught them about restoration efforts in the community. They ended their day with a dip in Fairmont Hot Springs! Chancellor Les Cook and his wife, Stephanie, also joined the group!

Montana Technological University’s Honors Program is an exclusive program that has been designed to stimulate the minds of some of our most academically inquisitive students. Many universities offer honors programs, but Montana Tech’s stands out as unique.

The honors program has been designed with the following tenets in mind:

Seminar: Honors students are required to register for a 0-credit seminar each semester with their cohort. Seminar topics vary each semester but are always discussion based.
Service: Each semester, honors students will participate in a service event, which will likely be part of existing service activities hosted by Associated Students of Montana Tech (ASMT).
Stakeholders: At least twice/year, students will have the opportunity to have dinner with campus leaders, such as the Chancellor, Provosts and Vice Chancellors. These meals give honors students the chance to share their thoughts and ideas about the university with leaders who can create change.
Social Events: At last once a semester, honors students will have the opportunity to engage in a social/cultural activity. The events may include outdoor excursions, art workshops, concerts, or theater.
