Investing In Our Program and The Next Generation of Computing Professionals at Montana Tech


Exciting things are happening in the Computer Science Department at Montana Tech. Computer Science at Montana Tech houses three bachelor's degree programs: Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Cybersecurity/Network Technology as well as a pair of two-year degrees in Web Development and Administration and Computer Networking and Security.

With the new offerings, we are more committed than ever to enriching the experience of our students and investing in our program. The demand for high-paying computing jobs in Montana is currently outstripping the supply of graduates. The Computer Science Department is ready to bridge this gap, but we urgently need the funds to support our students. 


With this in mind, for DayOne, we are asking you to invest in our program and the next generation of computing professionals with a gift to the Computer Science Departmental Fund. Your contribution will directly shape the future of these professionals, allowing us to provide the resources they need to succeed.

During DayOne, thanks to a generous gift from alumni Nick '92 and Kari '94 Olds, each gift to the Computer Science Departmental Fund will be matched 1:1 up to $2,000. 

Thank you for your support and please help us spread the word! Share this project on social media, by email, and tell your friends!
