DayOne 2026

Discovery comes to life in Montana Tech’s Department of Biological Sciences. Students prepare for expansive opportunities in medicine, veterinary medicine, wildlife biology, research, and graduate study through a rigorous education grounded in science and experience.

Biology students do more than learn in the classroom. Through independent projects and collaboration with faculty, they gain hands on experience exploring questions that matter to people, communities, and the natural world.

Montana Tech’s location near three national parks, wilderness areas, wildlife management areas, and world class trout streams creates exceptional opportunities for field research and outdoor learning. Small class sizes and close relationships with faculty provide a personalized environment where students can explore their interests, strengthen their skills, and grow as scientists.

Investing in Students and Discovery

Gifts to the Biological Sciences Departmental Scholarships help recruit and retain students who are passionate about biology. Scholarship support reduces financial barriers and provides students with greater opportunities to learn, participate in research, and prepare for careers or advanced study.

DayOne 2026 Matching Opportunity

Thanks to the continued generosity of Jack ’73 and Leah McCarthy, all gifts to the Biological Sciences Departmental Scholarships will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $1,000.

We are deeply grateful to the alumni, friends, and partners whose support continues to build momentum for Biological Sciences at Montana Tech. Every gift helps prepare scientists, healthcare professionals, researchers, and problem solvers who are ready to improve lives and expand our understanding of the world.
