Application for Admission must be submitted with unofficial transcripts* of previous college work and an application fee of$50. Students registering for classes for the first time, must also complete and send in with their application a First Time Registration form.

Submit application, transcripts, paperwork and application fee to:
Engineering Education Center in St. Louis
Missouri University of Science and Technology
one University Blvd., St. Louis MO 63121
Phone: 314-516-5431
Students are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Please call the EEC for more information at 314-516-5431.

*NOTE: You must still request official transcripts from each university be mailed directly to Missouri S&T's Engineering Education Center. These must be received by the end of your first registered semester or you will not be eligible for continued enrollment.

Returning Students
Returning students may submit future enrollment/registrations online through Joe'SS. When registration is completed, appropriate billing is processed through Missouri S&T's Cashiers Office on their regular billing schedules.

Admission Requirements
Admission requirements include a bachelor’s of science degree in the appropriate engineering specialty or related field, from an ABET-accredited program or equivalent.

Transfer Credits
Up to nine hours of graduate credit may be submitted for transfer into master's programs.

Thesis Program
Many students wish to emphasize an area of personal professional interest as part of their graduate program. Often the most efficient way of doing this is to organize this inquiry in the form of thesis research. Thesis students normally take 24 credits of course work and six credits of thesis research. All graduate credits, to be used toward a degree, must have been earned within the six years prior to graduation. Students should discuss thesis topics with faculty members early in their programs.

Non-Thesis Option
The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 30 hours of course work within a six year limit.

Dual Master's Program
Graduate students already holding or completing a master’s of science degree can obtain a second master’s degree in engineering by completing any necessary prerequisites and an additional 24 hours of graduate work.
