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.
