It is affiliated with the Montana State University System and offers Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Associate of Science (AS), and Associate of Arts (AA) degrees as well as several Information Technology Certifications.
This is a solid, affordable option for students looking to launch a career or transfer to a four-year school on a tight budget — at just $10,632/year net price and a median debt of only $7,992 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. However, be clear-eyed about the outcomes: median earnings of $33,800 a decade out reflect the associate-level, career-focused programs here, so it's best suited for students targeting specific local trades, healthcare, or IT fields rather than those expecting broad salary growth. Worth considering if you want an affordable, practical credential in central Montana without taking on significant debt.
