Missouri S&T (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla) is one of four campuses within the University of Missouri System. Founded in 1870 as one of the first technological institutions west of the Mississippi river, Missouri S&T is one of the nation's leading research universities with over 100 degree programs in 39 disciplines. Located about 85 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, psychological science, business administration, and technical communication. With nearly 7,400 students enrolled on campus and online, Missouri S&T is large enough to accommodate a diverse population, yet small enough for individuals to build highly visibility, high-impact careers.
