TheCollege of Montana was a privateliberal artscollege that existed inDeer Lodge, Montana, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1878 as the "Montana Collegiate Institute", the school was the first institution of higher learning in Montana. The College of Montana name was adopted in 1883. For much of its existence, the college was affiliated with thePresbyterian Church.[2]

Strapped for funding and suffering from a limited enrollment, the school had an erratic existence and finally closed for good in 1916. Seven years later, the organization of the College of Montana merged with that ofMontana Wesleyan College to form Intermountain Union College, located inHelena, Montana. Intermountain Union, in turn, later merged with the Billings Polytechnic Institute to formRocky Mountain College.

Buildings from the former College of Montana campus still survive in Deer Lodge, including Trask Hall, which is listed on theNational Register of Historic Places.
