For 125 years, Montana Technological University has prepared determined doers to solve real-world problems. Today, the Lance College of Mines & Engineering (LCME)—led by Dean Dr. Jack Skinner—carries that legacy forward with immersive, hands-on education and industry-aligned research that launches graduates into impactful careers.
LCME encompasses a powerful portfolio of programs—13 B.S., 11 M.S., and 2 Ph.D. degrees—spanning the core disciplines that fuel communities and economies. From mining and geological fields to civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, metallurgical & materials, petroleum, and more, our students learn to think critically, design creatively, and lead responsibly.
Our world-class faculty teach and mentor in state-of-the-art labs and facilities that serve both undergraduate and graduate students. The result? LCME graduates with high placement rates, impressive starting salaries, and a reputation for rolling up their sleeves and getting the work done, hallmarks of an Oredigger education since 1900.
A gift to the Lance College of Mines & Engineering Dean Fund provides flexible, immediate resources to:
- Elevate experiential learning and undergraduate research
- Advance labs, equipment, and field experiences
- Support student success initiatives and professional development
- Strengthen recruitment and retention across all LCME programs
