Questions about applying:

1. How do I apply?

Apply here! You will create an account and will be able to save your application at any stage. You will also be able to access your application status portal through this same link after a decision has been made. 

2. What are the application deadlines?

Our priority application deadlines are listed here. Missouri S&T operates a rolling admissions process and we will accept applications after these deadlines. 

3. I have difficulty paying the application fee. Are there fee waivers available?

We do not offer application fee waivers aside from occasionally as promotions in conjunction with events. Please keep an eye on your email and the graduate events website to view our upcoming events. 

4. Do you accept three-year degrees?

We do not accept 3-year degrees unless you are from a country which is a participant in the Bologna Process. Your degree must be the equivalent of a 4-year bachelor's degree in the U.S. If your degree is a 3-year degree and your country is not a participant in the Bologna Process, you must provide an official World Education Services (WES) Evaluation proving that your degree is the equivalent of a 4-year U.S. bachelor’s degree.

5. How do I know if all required application documents have been received?

You can check to see if your application is complete by visiting your application status portal. Here, you will see red “X”s if you are missing a document. If we have received your document, you will see green check marks.

6. When will a decision be made on my application?

Once we have received all required application materials, your application will move forward for review. You will receive an email once an admissions decision has been made, which typically takes 2-4 weeks. At that time, you will be able to login to your application status portal to view your admissions decision letter.

International on-campus students will need to pay the enrollment fee before the International Enrollment team can proceed with processing your I-20 documents.

Please check your application status portal to make this payment.
