A Clear Path for Engineering Majors: SEMO Partners with Missouri S&T

Rowdy and Joe Miner shake hands at the signing of the SEMO and Missouri S&T Partnership.

/ Follow a clear transfer pathway designed by both universities.

/ Earn your engineering degree from Missouri S&T, one of the nation's top engineering programs.
