The university is a member of the NCAA Division II ranks, primarily competing in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) since the 2007–08 academic year.

In the 2018–19 school year, the MSUB baseball team captured its fourth GNAC regular-season title in five years, won its first-ever GNAC tournament title, and advanced to the NCAA D2 West Region Championships for the first time in program history.

MSUB broke numerous school and conference baseball records, including most wins in a season with 33, and most home runs in a year with 83.

The baseball program captured four regular season GNAC championships over a span of five years (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019).

The 2017–18 academic year was historic and was highlighted by an NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearance in women's basketball.

Its governance was passed from the Billings School District to the Montana University System (MUS) Board of Regents in 1987, and in 1994, the BVTC was officially merged with MSU Billings and renamed the College of Technology.
