In an effort to make the most of their college experience, many Missouri S&T students opt for credit by examination. Credits earned through these programs count toward degree requirements and allow qualified students to take advanced courses earlier in their college careers. To be considered for credit under any of these programs or to request more information on examination policies and evaluations, please contact the Testing Center [online]. Students applying for advanced credit by examination should include transcripts of test scores with their correspondence.

Missouri S&T also welcomes college-level coursework taken as dual enrollment credit at other institutions. This credit will be transferred to Missouri S&T and applied towards degree programs as determined by the Registrar's Office. Specific information on Course Equivalencies is available [online]
