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. Located about 100 miles west of St. Louis in the multicultural community of Rolla, Missouri S&T is an accessible, safe, and friendly campus surrounded by Ozarks’ scenery. 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. With nearly 7,400 students enrolled on campus and online, Missouri S&T is big enough to accommodate a diverse population, yet small enough for individuals to build high visibility and impactful careers.

Additionally, Missouri S&T has undertaken many initiatives to improve campus life and the work-life balance of its faculty and staff (http://hr.mst.edu). Furthermore, Missouri S&T seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples.
