Missouri S&T is ranked third among the nation’s top public universities for best career placement. The ranking is based on student ratings of career services collected by Princeton Review and graduate salary data from PayScale.com.
S&T is ranked 22nd among public universities for best return on investment, or ROI. For this ranking, the Princeton Review analyzed each university’s academic quality and affordability as well as the career prospects of graduates.
“Our ROI rating tallies considered more than 40 data points, broadly covering academics, affordability and career preparation,” says Rob Franek, the Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief.

In this time of serious money issues and huge tuition costs, great attention is focused on ROI and on practical experience that MO S&T delivers so well. And now that there are so many choices of major and minor focus that allows students that have not yet decided on them to strongly consider Rolla. That is no doubt a concern of parents too.
Our excellent faculty to student ration and the great organizations on campus should also attract students.
Keep up the great work!
Great to hear that MST ranks highly nationally. It was a great school when I graduated in 1970, and kept up high standards since.
