Missouri S&T ranks among the nation’s top universities for graduates’ economic success, according to the latest rankings from the college guide website DegreeChoices.

According to this ranking, Missouri S&T is first in the state of Missouri and 10th nationwide among public universities. Missouri S&T ranks 18th in the nation overall.

DegreeChoices uses federal data to determine its rankings. Schools are ranked according to a combined score that considers two factors: “payback,” or the length of time it takes a student to earn back the cost of their education, and “earnings plus,” or how much more or less a graduate earns compared to a weighted average. 

“A Missouri S&T education is truly life-changing,” says S&T Chancellor Mo Dehghani. “Many of our alumni have shared how the hands-on, solution-inspired education they experienced here prepared them not only for their first jobs but also for fulfilling careers that transformed their lives. Our students are highly sought after by employers. Upon graduation, they leave the university ready to take on great opportunities, and their economic success is just one measure of that.”   

Missouri S&T consistently scores high in return on investment (ROI) rankings, including:

  • No. 1 public university in Missouri for return on investment, according to Georgetown’s Center on Education and Workforce, 2022.
  • No. 3 best public university for career placement, according to Princeton Review, 2022.
  • No. 5 best college for engineering majors and No. 1 in Missouri, according to Money, 2022.
