Missouri University of Science and Technology recognizes the importance of global engagement in the advancement of research, the pursuit of technological improvements, and the conveyance of knowledge for the betterment of our nation and the world. Vibrant student and faculty exchange programs and international agreements are central to our mission of solving the world’s greatest challenges.
