Located in the safe and vibrant town of Rolla, in the foothills of the Missouri Ozarks, Missouri University of Science and Technology or Missouri S&T was founded in 1870 as one of the first technological schools. The Missouri University of Science and Technology is a public university and hub for STEM research and is focused on providing a top return on investment for students, research partners, employers, and donors, as outlined in its strategic plan. At Missouri S&T, a student will have more than 97 ways to plan his/her rewarding career.
Missouri University of Science and Technology is a member institution of the University of Missouri System. As its name suggests, Missouri University of Science & Technology — Rolla focuses on many Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degrees, including speciality engineering, computing and technology, and management systems. The school has a particularly wide variety of engineering majors for undergraduates to choose from, including aerospace engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering, and engineering management.

Missouri S&T is classified among “R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity.” Four cutting-edge research areas have been identified in the Missouri S&T strategy. Advanced manufacturing explores techniques such as the application of nanotechnology and intelligent systems enabled by sensors, while advanced materials offer practical solutions to core national challenges such as replacing hundreds of defective bridges and ensuring reliable energy and water supplies. Other researchers are looking at ways of developing “smart” environments and “intelligent cities”, and providing the materials needed in extreme environments. There is a strong focus on interdisciplinarity in all the research centres which lead to many kinds of scientists (and sometimes social scientists) working alongside each other to achieve common goals.
