Our mission, as the two-year college of The University of Montana, is to provide open access to higher education that expands opportunities for Montana residents.  We are a gateway to comprehensive education, delivering high quality, student-centered, professional, technical, transfer, and workforce programs and courses.

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. Enrollment Services, Financial Aid Office, Registrar's Office, Career 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, The Bookstore at the College of Technology, and a 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., Monday through Saturday.  Department chairs and/or program directors may be contacted for specific scheduling information. 

Associate of Applied Science and Certificate of Applied Science Programs

The Associate of Applied Science degree and Certificate of Applied Science programs offered in the College are designed to lead an individual to employment in a specific career or career cluster. In some instances, particularly in Health Professions, 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 The University of Montana and some other baccalaureate degree-granting institutions for continuing in programs 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 Nursing programs are approved by the Montana Board of Nursing. 

Associate of Arts Degree Program

The Associate of Arts Degree is a general education transfer degree and does not officially include a major or minor course of study.  To receive an Associate of Arts degree all students must successfully complete all the general education requirements as described by Montana Board of Regents policy 301.10 Appendix 1.  Students seeking the AA are not required to sit for the upper-division writing proficiency assessment.  The minimum grade average for the 60 credits required for the AA is 2.0.

Bachelor of Applied Science Degree Program 

A Bachelor of Applied Science degree is offered by The University of Montana in Missoula through the College of Arts and Sciences in collaboration with the UM College of Technology.  The initial contact for this degree is the College of Technology . 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.
