• English: 4 units (1 unit may be speech or debate; 2 units emphasizing composition or writing skills are required) English 9, 10, 11, 12; English Literature; Speech; Debate; Journalism; etc.

Academic Achievement and Standardized Test Scores!

Take the ACT or SAT I in the spring of your junior year and fall of your senior semester. Missouri S&T considers your highest composite score (or the combined Math and Critical Reading score from the SAT I) for admission and scholarship qualification. The writing sections of the ACT or the SAT will not affect your admission.

To qualify for admission, the combination of your high school rank and test score must meet or exceed the values in the table below. We accept class rank and test score data from your sixth, seventh or eighth semester of high school. If you attend a high school which does not rank its students, your admission will not be negatively affected: students from non-ranking high schools and home-schooled students are admitted based on academic achievement and ACT or SAT scores.

If your ACT composite score is 24 or higher, or the total of your SAT critical reading and math scores is 1090 or higher, and you have completed the required curriculum, then you meet the requirements for admission to Missouri S&T.

If your ACT composite score is 17 to 23, or the total of your SAT critical reading and math scores is 800 to 1080, then you must meet the high school class rank in the table below to be admitted to Missouri S&T.
