Non-Degree Seeking Applicants

For students applying directly into a graduate-level course, the following materials (listed below) are required. Be prepared to have the materials ready to be uploaded/entered once you start the application. If you are unable to have all materials ready when applying, you can still start the application and save it.

Approvals from your professor and graduate studies specialist are required to enroll in specific classes. You will still need to meet all prerequisite requirements specific to the courses in which you would like to enroll.

Please note: we will be unable to process your application without the required documents. 


Required application documents

Complete the online application. When you start a new application select "Graduate Online/Distance".

2-3 paragraphs explaining why you are applying for this program. If a Statement of Purpose module is not available within the application, then please upload it on the status page after submission.

Unofficial transcripts are sufficient for an admit decision.

Upload your transcripts on the online application under your "Institutional Data". PDF scans are preferred. The University will require official transcripts from all schools attended before a student may register for a second semester from S&T. In order for a transcript to be counted as official it must be sent directly from the school to S&T, it cannot come from a student.

Official transcripts should be mailed to:

Missouri University of Science and Technology
106 Parker Hall
300 W 13th Street
Rolla, Missouri USA 65409-1060

Official digital transcripts can be sent to apply@mst.edu. Please use the name, S&T Operations if a name is needed.

Online Admissions would like to help our UMR/Missouri S&T alumnae with their unofficial transcript for your application.  Please contact stgrad@mst.edu if you need your UMR/Missouri S&T unofficial transcript for your application.

Up to nine hours of graduate coursework taken as a non-degree student may be counted toward a Missouri S&T graduate degree or graduate certificate program, if applicable. Furthermore, if a student initially enrolls as a non-degree student and is subsequently accepted into a graduate degree program before completing a particular course, that course may be accepted toward the graduate degree program subject to approval by the student’s advisor, department chair, and the dean of graduate studies.
