Admission Requirements

Students transferring to Missouri S&T must meet these minimum requirements. In general, admission to the department in which you intend to pursue a degree – particularly engineering and science departments – requires a minimum 2.5 GPA. The faculties of individual degree programs do reserve the right to use more stringent cumulative GPA requirements when evaluating transfer applications than Missouri S&T's general minimum GPA requirement. Department degree program entrance requirements can be found here.

Missouri S&T accepts college-level non-remedial coursework from all accredited institutions. How credit will be applied to a Missouri S&T degree program is at the discretion of the Registrar's Office.

Minimum Requirements for Admission

  1. Transfer from a regionally accredited college or university.
  2. Submit official transcripts showing statements of academic credits and honorable release.
  3. Possess a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. 
  4. Completed 24 or more semester hours of college-level credit.

Do you have less than 24 credit hours from your sending institution?

If you have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at your sending institution, you must submit your ACT (or SAT) scores and official high school transcripts to the Office of Admissions. Although you attended another institution after high school, your application will be evaluated according to standards for first-time freshmen.

Do you have at least 24 hours from your sending institution?

If you have completed 24 credit hours or more at your sending institution, high school transcripts and ACT (or SAT) scores are not necessary.

Planning tips
  • Enroll in the Transfer Assistance Program (TAP). TAP offers free academic and counseling services, as well as helpful transfer advice.
  • Review available transfer guides and your admission's counselor's advice to plan courses at your participating college or university.
  • Schedule a visit to campus or sign-up for a virtual session at visit.mst.edu.
  • Submit an application for admission early in the semester before you plan to transfer to Missouri S&T to take advantage of transfer scholarship dates and Transfer Advising Day. Students registered in TAP receive transfer-specific information prior to their anticipated transfer to Missouri S&T.


 

Many high school students face the decision of where to begin their college career. Trying to make that final decision of where to attend college can be difficult, but we recommend that high school students who are unsure of their plans to go ahead and apply.

Planning tips
  • Apply for admission and financial aid to both Missouri S&T and the two-year or four-year school you may attend.
  • If finances are an issue for you, early application will help determine what type of assistance is available from Missouri S&T. We do offer generous scholarships for transfer students, but freshman awards do tend to be larger. Compare what is available if you apply as a freshman.
  • Visit both institutions and take some time to speak to an admissions counselor regarding both direct admission and transfer options.
  • If you decide to attend elsewhere first and then transfer to Missouri S&T, it is very important to email us at transfer@mst.edu to enroll in the Transfer Assistance Program so we may provide advice that will help you transfer with no loss of credit.
