REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe Professors really push you to the hardest extent. They expect you to do your homework the first time and take school very seriously. However, if you finish your homework and work at it you will learn more than you expected and the way most professors teach the material it is guaranteed to stick.
Julie from Camdenton, MO
In the math class I took, I learned an interesting learning style; the math I'd had before in High School (like in a summary) but I learned how to make things stick very well in MS&T's math class.
My focus is in Computer Science. While I've had programming experience before, the pace of the class is incredible and by the end of Semester One we are now pretty much at the extent of my knowledge. So, given the pace we were at, I expect to learn a lot Semester Two.

Benjamin from Kansas City, MO
I came into Missouri S&T hoping to become a mathematician. I found that it wasn't hard to get involved in extracurricular studies and research for free. I feel like (as opposed to high school) MST is a totally learning oriented school, where knowledge is freely shared and research is for everyone. In my first semester here I had the feeling of attending lectures from Pythagoras himself in the ancient Greek museums of antiquity. It's really a unique and amazing experience.
Benjamin from Rolla, MO
You will learn a lot at this school. At first you will learn some more in depth math and physics but when you get all that out of the way and can start learning what you actually want to learn, the classes for your intended major.
Nicholas from Republic, MO
The classes are tough, but when you get that good grade, you know you earned it and really knew the material.
D from Platte City, MO
The Professors here really care about your success and are always available for you to ask questions. The classes can be pretty challenging, but if you are willing to put some time into your studies, (which you should be since its college and you will wind up doing it anyways) you will do great here! It is easy to learn when you always know someone who can help.
Robert from Imperial, MO
The professors at MS&T push students hard to accel. The courses are difficult but worthwhile. There are multiple oppurtunities to recieve help such as Teacher Office hours and study groups. All of these oppurtunities are focused on helping students. You must show that you are doing work, they will not simply do this work for you. Teachers and peers are not the only option for help, graduate students are often willing to help students who seek assistance and show effort. There are some assigned hours that they may help students during, but if you are having trouble they are usually just a phone call away.
Nicholas from Webb City, MO
The classes here at MS&T will definitely teach you everything you need to know about your decided career field. The courses are very in-depth and challenging so if you want to pass you have no choice but to learn the material frontwards and backwards. Many of the courses also teach you how to work well in groups, which is a skill you will need if you plan on a career in engineering.
Josh from Fair Play, MO
MS&T is a great university with small town appeal, yet high tech education. Everyone is friendly and encouraging and tries hard to help you succeed. Their graduates are the second highest paid in the nation.
Zachery from Comstock Park, MI
Whether you are taught in class or have to fin out information on your own you have to learn to pass so one way or another you will end up learning a lot.
