Enjoy small class sizes, great facilities

With a low student-to-faculty ratio, you’ll get to know the people who teach you. You can develop your skills in state-of-the-art engineering labs and spaces.

Partners for your success

Missouri State offers engineering in cooperation with Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T).

This means:

All your courses are taught on Missouri State’s Springfield campus.
- Missouri S&T offers the engineering courses.
- Missouri State offers the non-engineering courses.
Missouri S&T grants your engineering degree.

The cooperative engineering programs are open to all Missouri State students.
