DayOne 2026

Chemistry is the spark behind discovery and problem solving in health, energy, the environment, and industry. At Montana Tech, Chemistry and Geochemistry students learn to understand the nature of matter and apply that knowledge to challenges that affect our communities and our world.

Students build a strong foundation in chemical principles while tailoring their education to their interests and career goals. Areas of study include biochemistry, where molecular science supports advances in health and life sciences; environmental chemistry, where chemistry informs the stewardship of land, water, and air; and professional chemistry, which prepares students for graduate study and careers throughout the chemical sciences.

Small class sizes and close interaction with faculty provide students with personal guidance and meaningful opportunities to participate in fundamental and applied research. These experiences help students develop the technical knowledge, curiosity, and confidence to become scientists and problem solvers.

Investing in our students has fueled Montana Tech for over 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
