About the University
Missouri S&T is one of the nation's leading research universities with over 100 degree programs in 39 disciplines. It was founded in 1870 as one of the first technological institutions west of the Mississippi River.

Missouri S&T offers undergraduate degrees in engineering, the sciences, liberal arts, humanities, and business, with M.S. and Ph.D. programs available in many of the science and engineering programs and master's degrees in biological sciences, business administration, and technical communication.
