University of Missouri System: Missouri University of Science and Technology
Founded in 1870 as one of the first technological schools west of the Mississippi, Missouri S&T today stands poised to meet the challenges of a global, green economy.
Our name may be new, but our commitment to technological education is unchanging. As a land-grant and space-grant institution, we produced the engineers, scientists and innovators who helped drive the Industrial Revolution and propel the Space Age.
