Mission Fulfillment

Mission fulfillment is achieved when objectives within each goal have been met. An objective is met when at least half of the indicators have met or exceeded the indicator benchmark.

Montana Tech strives for excellence in all domains of the institutional mission and intends to meet or exceed all our benchmarks. Nonetheless, we have set the bar high in defining our benchmarks in that we have included aspirational peers in our comparison set. In this context, meeting or exceeding all benchmarks will be more challenging in some areas than others. Therefore, we have defined mission fulfillment as meeting half of the indicators and benchmarks for each objective.
