The World is Your Oyster!
Orediggers Overseas provides students with transformational experiences in learning, research, problem-solving, and personal development through study abroad programs. This is a brand new intiative for Montana Tech, so as of right now, we are limited in the programs we can offer. However, with time, patience, interest, and funding, we aim to offer several programs and internship opportunities in as many countries as possible for as many majors as possible.
Why Study Abroad?
Experts say that the exposure to foreign cultures that studying abroad brings helps college students increase their self-awareness, critical thinking, and work opportunities. We live in an increasingly polarized world, and there is no greater skill needed today than the ability to communicate and cooperate with those who think differently from you. When students leave their comfort zones, great things happen!

Study Abroad Handbook
After two successful cultural exchanges held in Taiwan and Austria in 2023 and 2024, a new group at Montana Technological University has formed to provide more opportunities for students to expand their horizons abroad.
Lasting international friendships, an appreciation for foreign culture, and a lifelong zest for the opportunity to travel are just a few benefits Orediggers received through Montana Tech’s 2023 Summer Study-abroad Program in Austria.
Montana Technological University students say they learned about culture, language, semiconductor technology, and international relations during a trip to Minghsin University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Taiwan over winter break.
