The College of Technology provides occupation-oriented education
that meets the human resource needs of business and industry.
This unique educational opportunity is anchored in occupational
terms and dimensions. The College maintains relationships with
national, regional, state, and local business and industry communities
resulting in responsiveness to workforce needs by developing
and delivering relevant occupational programs.
College of Technology facilities are divided among two separate
campuses. The East campus at 909 South Avenue West houses the
academic and registrar offices,
Admissions & New Student Services, Career Services, counseling
office, Financial Aid, and the Academic Support Center, as well
as the business and computer technology, barber-styling, culinary
arts, general education, and health professions programs. A
library, bookstore, dining room, and academic computing also
are located at the East campus. The West campus at 3639 South
Avenue West houses the electronics and industrial programs.
Associate of Applied Science Degree and Certificate Programs
The Associate of Applied Science degree and certificate programs
offered in the College are designed to lead an individual directly
to employment in a specific career or career cluster. In some
instances, particularly in allied health, the degree or certificate
is a prerequisite for taking a licensing examination. The Associate
of Applied Science degree is not typically considered a transfer
degree, although opportunities do exist in some baccalaureate
degree granting institutions such as the University's Bachelor
of Applied Science degree program.
The College's Surgical Technology and Respiratory Care programs
are reviewed by their respective Joint Review Committees and
accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health
Education Programs. The Food Service Management program is accredited
by the American Culinary Federation Educational Institute Accrediting
Commission, the Legal Assisting program is approved by the American
Bar Association, and the Practical Nursing program is approved
by the Montana Board of Nursing.

for students to complete either a general education curriculum
