How many applicants to Montana Technological University were admitted for fall 2022?

Published 07/27/24

Montana Technological University admitted 89% of applicants for fall 2022, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Of those who were admitted, 20% enrolled.

There were 1,757 people who applied to study at Montana Technological University for fall 2022.

Data shows the four-year public institution in Butte enrolled 1,625 students in fall 2022, including 1,437 in undergraduate and 188 in graduate programs. Around 4.5% of undergraduates transferred from another college or university.

At Montana Technological University, 77% of undergraduates are residents of Montana, and 23% are from out of state.

The undergraduate student body is comprised mostly of students who identify as white (82%) and Hispanic or Latino (4%).

U.S. college enrollment has been in a downward trend since peaking at around 18.1 million students in 2010. Recent increases offered some relief, but experts project a steeper decline in 2025.

This decline is likely due to two main factors. First, the pool of young adults is shrinking as birth rates have fallen nearly 23% between 2007 and 2022. Second, the rising cost of higher education, including skyrocketing student loan debt. A 2023 Wall Street Journal report shows that more than half of Americans think a four-year degree is not worth the cost.

Since enrollment numbers are dropping, worries about student debt and college fees are now being raised, casting doubt on the necessity of attending college and discouraging prospective students.

Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals that do not equal 100%.
