- "Founded in 1900 as the Montana State School of Mines, we offered degrees in mining and electrical engineering with a focus on mining and the processing of ore. Our mission expanded in the 1960s to include programs focused on the responsible development of natural resources and energy. Today, as Montana Technological University, we serve as Montana’s only Special Focus science and engineering university. Throughout our journey, we have maintained our enthusiasm for hands-on learning and our heritage of work ethic, innovation, and opportunity" (Source: https://www.mtech.edu/strategic-plan/index.html).

On June 9, 2020, Montana Tech released a statement saying, "Two weeks ago, our nation witnessed the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of those who are entrusted to serve and protect our citizenry. Just two months prior, Breonna Taylor was killed while sleeping in her own bed, and in February, Ahmaud Arbery was murdered while out for a run. These senseless events and others like them have caused outrage, anger and frustration. They have also illuminated the corrosive and ugly nature of systemic racism within our society."

The university "organizes and offers a public lecture series, featuring diverse weekly speakers throughout the academic year."
