Your “BEST WEEKEND EVER” is waiting.


The only way to truly understand the term “Big Sky State” is to live it. With countless ways to explore Southwest Montana's outdoors, it’s a good thing our curriculum is so hands on - otherwise you'd never want to be inside the classroom. Experience dozens of different outdoor pursuits just steps off campus, or throughout the great state of Montana. 

Being outside is a big part of what makes Montana Tech so amazing, and is something that is celebrated and emphasized both inside and outside the classroom. When packing for college, your bag is going to look a little different than the average student, just to fit all your gear and equipment. Whether you stay in Montana or move on after graduation, the days you spend in the Montana outdoors will stay with you forever.
