Welcome!
The Sherry Lesar School of Nursing at Montana Tech is the #1 nursing program in Montana, according to the 2024 Top Ranked Nursing Schools listing by RegisteredNursing.org, and the 2024 Best Nursing School in Montana by RNcareers.org.
Undergraduate students may pursue a bachelor's of science degree in nursing and a minor in health care informatics. The Sherry Lesar School of Nursing continues to sustain NCLEX-RN pass rates between 90-100%, well above the State and National averages.
After successful completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, students must pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) before entering the workforce as an RN. Montana Tech has determined that the Nursing program meets the educational requirements necessary for the student to seek licensure/certification in the state of Montana. Refer to our licensure page for more information and a determination about requirements for states outside Montana.
Montana Tech is one of only two publicly funded nursing programs in Montana to offer a pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
This 18-credit minor focuses on health care ethics, delivery, systems, medical recordkeeping, and data integration and exchange.
