Missouri's Premier Technological University
The Missouri University of Science and Technology, founded in 1870 as the Missouri School of Mines (MSM), was the first technological university west of the Mississippi and one of the first in the United States. For over 130 years, we've been one of the nation's premier universities for science, technology, and, of course, engineering. In 1964, MSM became known as the University of Missouri - Rolla, and now awards undergraduate and graduate degrees in 35 fields of engineering, science, humanities, and social sciences.
Today, MST continues its tradition of educating skilled professionals in engineering and science, and ranks among the top 25 American universities in the number of undergraduate engineering degrees awarded each year. Known for its small, caring environment and its individualized attention to students, MST proudly brings its strong tradition of academic excellence into the 21st century, offering the quality of a private-school education at a public school price.
The Missouri University of Science and Technology became a PLTW National Affiliate Training Center in 2004.
College Credit For Summer Training
Teachers successfully completing summer training at MST may apply for three credit hours of graduate credit through either University of Missouri-Kansas City or through the University of Central Missouri. The cost is reasonable, approximately $75 per credit hour.
College Credit For High School Students
Students who successfully complete the first two PLTW courses (IED and POE) are invited to apply for three credit hours at MST. These three credit hours are for an IDE 20 class at MST required for all MST engineering freshmen. The cost is $200 total for the credit. Details may be found at this link:
