Lynn Stocking, Associate Dean

The vision of the College of Technology is to be a preeminent leader and catalyst for progress in education. Supporting that vision is the mission to provide academically sound, socially responsible, current and accessible certificate and associate degree programs in response to individual, community, and economic development needs. The goals of the College:

  • create a student-centered environment
  • provide college level technical and general education learning opportunities
  • facilitate development of oral and written communication skills
  • facilitate development of critical thinking and problem solving skills
  • support the development of ethical behavior
  • embrace diversity and encourage respect for others
  • facilitate and promote life-long learning

The College of Technology offers programs and services on two campuses–the East Campus at 909 South Avenue West and the West Campus at 3639 South Avenue West. The Admissions & New Student Services Office, Financial Aid Office, Registrar’s Office, Career and Placement Services Office, and administrative offices are located at the East Campus. All business technology programs, applied computing and electronics programs, culinary arts programs, health professions programs, as well as the branch of the Mansfield Library, College Bookstore, and dining room are located on the East Campus. All industrial programs are located on the West Campus.

Students may attend courses at three campus sites. Courses are scheduled at a variety of times between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Department chairs or program directors may be contacted for specific scheduling information.

Associate of Applied Science 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 for continuing in degrees 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 Paralegal Studies program is approved by the American Bar Association, and the Practical Nursing program is approved by the Montana Board of Nursing.

Associate of Arts Degree Program

The Associate of Arts degree program provides an opportunity for students to complete either a general education curriculum without a particular field of study or a medically orientated curriculum or one directed toward a particular baccalaureate major. The program is administered by the College of Technology Department of Applied Arts and Sciences. See also the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog for specific requirements.

Bachelor of Applied Science Degree Program

A Bachelor of Applied Science degree is offered by The University of Montana-Missoula through the College of Arts and Sciences program. This degree program is available for students who have completed approved Associate of Applied Science degrees. See the College of Arts and Sciences/Applied Science section of this catalog.
