In fall 2020, students in the honors program will have a new experience. In an attempt to bridge the importance of both your academic experience and your social experience at Montana Tech, the program will now be co-directed by the Dean of Student Affairs and the Dean of Academic Affairs (the Provost). We believe this will enhance the honors program experience.

The Honors Program Committee serves an important role and is made up of staff and faculty members across campus. Not only does the committee assist the directors in choosing each year’s cohorts, but we also hope that they will be engaged with our honors students throughout the year.
