Most of its 6,456 students (2023) study engineering, business, sciences, and mathematics. Known primarily for its engineering school, Missouri S&T offers degree programs in business and management systems, information science and technology, sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts. It is classified as a "STEM-dominant", R1 university with "very high research spending and doctorate production".
Strong option for students serious about engineering or applied sciences — grads earn a median $72,400 ten years out, and at just $13,773/year average net cost, the return on investment is hard to argue with. The one honest concern worth flagging: a 64% graduation rate means more than a third of students who start here don't finish, so it's worth asking whether the workload and location (Rolla is a small, remote town) are a real fit before committing.
