DayOne 2025

At Montana Technological University, Chemistry is more than “the central science”—it’s the spark behind 125 years of discovery and problem-solving in Butte and beyond. As we celebrate Montana Tech’s 125th anniversary, our Chemistry & Geochemistry students are carrying that tradition forward, learning the nature of matter and applying it to real-world challenges in health, energy, environment, and industry.

Why Chemistry & Geochemistry at Montana Tech

Students in our programs build a strong foundation in chemical principles while tailoring coursework to fit their goals. Several undergraduate specialization tracks let them go deeper while keeping a rigorous chemical orientation:

• Biochemistry — where molecular insights power advances in health and life sciences
• Environmental Chemistry — where chemistry meets stewardship of land, water, and air
• Professional Trac — a robust pathway for graduate study or careers across chemical industries

Alongside expert faculty and small class sizes, our students engage in both fundamental and applied research, gaining the hands-on experience and mentorship that define Montana Tech, then and now.

Investing in our students has fueled Montana Tech for 125 years. Your gift today keeps that legacy alive for the next generation of chemists and geochemists. When you support the Chemistry & Geochemistry Departmental Scholarships, you:

• Open doors for promising students with financial need
• Strengthen experiential learning and undergraduate research
• Help us recruit and retain top talent in STEM fields
