The UM-Helena Metals Technology Program is a combination of the Machine Tool and Welding Programs. 

 

In the Machine Tool program students have the choice of receiving a one year Machine Tool Certificate of Completion, a CNC Programming Option, and the two-year Associate of Applied Science Metals Technology degree.

 

The Welding Program offers students the choice of a one year certificate in Welding Technology or a two year Associate of Applied Science degree in Metals Technology.  The second year of the AAS degree in Metals Technology focuses on learning machine tool skills.
