• Missouri S&T seeks international students who have a strong probability of succeeding at the university. Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).
• International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
• In addition, international students must fulfill Missouri S&T's English language proficiency requirement. To view a list of countries who are exempt from providing English test scores, please click here. Minimum English proficiency test score requirements are 80 for TOEFL, 6.5 for IELTS, 58 for PTE, or 105 for Duolingo. We also accept SAT English score minimum of 500.
• Missouri S&T may request that you provide an official transcript evaluation from the World Education Services (WES). If this is required, it will be visible on your application checklist after submission of your application, or an admissions representative will contact you to request it.

1. 1. Complete the online application, which will take you through several screens. Note that once you start filling out the application, you can save it at any time and return to it later. Follow the instructions on each screen and note the following:
      • First-time applicants will need to create an account. When you submit your name and email, you will receive a temporary PIN/password sent to your email. Next, you activate your account and change your password. Note your email and password you entered for your account, as you will use this to log into the application portal to complete your application or check your status.
      • Start a new application and select the following:
      • Application type: Undergraduate Application
      • Application category: First-Time College Student
      • Degree level: Bachelor’s Degree
      • Area of Study: Select the major you wish to pursue. Please select a specific area of study – do not select Undecided or Undecided Engineering, since upon admission your specific degree program will need to be listed on your I-20 or DS-2019.
      • Enter personal background information, including:
      • Your permanent and mailing addresses: note that as an international student, your permanent address should be your address in your home country.
      • Citizenship information – enter your citizenship and specify which type of visa you will request (F-1, for which you will receive an I-20; J-1, for which you will receive a DS-2019). Please contact the International Enrollment office at [email protected].
      • • On the Test Scores screen, choose Add Test and enter information for the specific tests you have taken (TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, Duolingo, ACT, SAT).
        • An admission decision can be made based on unofficial transcripts. Students can upload transcripts through their Application Status Page. Transcripts must be received from all secondary schools you have attended that show courses taken, grades earned, rank in class, grade point average and class of division earned, if applicable.
        • On the Personal Statement screen, you may optionally submit a statement of 500 words or less, discussing a topic you wish the admissions committee to review. This statement may include your educational goals, discussion of personal circumstances, and so on.
        • The final screen, Review, will list any errors with your application (for example, if required information is missing). Once your application is complete, choose SubmitApplication.
        • Please note that an application fee will be required once your application has been submitted.
        • We accept unofficial transcripts and test scores during the application process. Your official transcripts and ACT/SAT test scores will be required after an offer of admission is made.
   2. If available, request ACT or SAT scores be sent directly to Missouri S&T. Missouri S&T’s codes are as follows: ACT – 2398; SAT – 6876.
   3. Official transcripts must be sent after admission. Please note the following:
      
      • Official transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing institution to Missouri S&T and must bear the institution’s seal and appropriate signature. Transcripts may be sent electronically to [email protected] or by mail to Office of Admissions, 205 Centennial Hall, 300 W. 12th Street, Rolla, MO 65409-1060 USA.
      • Request these documents be sent directly to Missouri University of Science and Technology, Office of Admissions, 106 Parker Hall, 300 West 13th Street, Rolla, MO 65409 – USA.
      • Transcripts must show your most recent semester of completed coursework.
      • If you are currently enrolled, Missouri S&T will request a final transcript upon completion of your semester.
      • Please note that we only accept evaluations for U.S. equivalency. We do not accept Canadian equivalency evaluations.
      • If you have questions about your transcripts, please contact admissions at [email protected].

After you have submitted your online application, you can check the status of your application at any time. To do so, enter the email address and password you gave us on your application for admission.

Lastly, please note that while your admission application will be processed without financial documents, in order to be issued immigration documents students must submit a statement verifying ability to provide financial support, such as a financial statement made by the sponsor or bank, indicating source and amount of funds available. More information will be provided upon admission to Missouri S&T.
