Admission Details
If you've attended another college and have decided that Missouri S&T is a better fit for you, or you plan to attend another university after high school and transfer to Missouri S&T later, we welcome you to apply as a transfer student.
You can use either our online application and we are a "Common App" university, so you can apply using the The Common Application. Either way, you'll get full consideration for admission.

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
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.
Missouri S&T has active and successful transfer partnerships with over 50 colleges and universities in Missouri and other states.
Credits can be earned by examination, which allows you to make the most of your college experience. Earned credits count towards degree program requirements and let you take advanced courses earlier.
Missouri S&T Transfer Admissions staff will work with you every step of the way so that you can transfer to Missouri S&T without losing credits or taking unnecessary courses.
Missouri S&T participates in the AUC Dual Degree Engineering Program (DDEP) with three historically-black colleges.
MRT is the process of allowing college students or former college students who have completed credits for an associate’s degree to receive that degree even if they have transferred to a different college or university, or dropped out of higher education altogether.
After you've completed your application and been admitted, you'll need to sign up for a Transfer Advising Day where you'll meet your advisor, sign up for classes, visit with Student Financial Assistance, and learn about what you need to do to prepare to attend S&T.
Admitted transfer students who apply for admission are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships (no separate scholarship application required) if they meet application deadlines. You may also be eligible for additional scholarships through the scholarship database.
Missouri S&T has been recognized as a PTK Partner in Excellence AND given Honor Roll distinction. This distinction is awarded to the top 25% of transfer-friendly institutions nationwide.
