Business administration programs in Montana
9 business programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
7 schools offer these business administration programs, and Montana has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
General and operations managers run the daily work of an organization: they make staff schedules, assign work, see that projects get done and plan how materials and people are used. Most move up from supervisory jobs, and the BLS says top executives typically need a bachelor's degree and considerable work experience.1
In Montana, all 9 programs take students without a high school diploma.
By kind, the 9 programs here are business apprenticeship (6 programs), business administration (associate degree, 2 programs) and business management certificate (1 program).

Where the Montana business administration program numbers come from
Which Montana business administration programs are on this list?
These are the business administration programs Montana approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Montana offers.
How the prices and results of Montana business administration programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
