Dear Friends:

These are times of tremendous opportunity for the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

Since its founding in 1870 as the first technological university west of the Mississippi River, Missouri S&T has been a pioneer in higher education. Back then, Missouri S&T – or the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, as it was known – trained engineers and technicians for the Industrial Revolution and the great westward expansion it fueled. Today, with our emphasis on incorporating technology into all academic disciplines – from the core fields of science and engineering to our thriving management, liberal arts, humanities and social sciences programs – Missouri S&T is well positioned to send out a new generation of leaders into the new frontiers of business, government, education, engineering and science, and all aspects of society.

As Missouri’s premier technological research university, Missouri S&T is focused on preparing today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders. Missouri S&T graduates have a long and distinguished history as leaders in engineering, technology, management, entrepreneurship, education, the arts and humanities, medicine, and science. Our alumni include three astronauts, dozens of inventors and Fortune 500 executives, hundreds of entrepreneurs, a mystery novelist, and an Academy Award-winning engineer. Though diverse in their career paths and interests, they share the common trait of holding a degree from one of the finest technological research universities in the world: Missouri S&T.

I invite you to explore the Missouri S&T website and discover for yourself all that Missouri S&T has to offer.

Sincerely,

John F. Carney III
Chancellor
