Missouri University of
Science and Technology
What is it?
Missouri University of Science and
Technology, otherwise known as MS&T,
is an engineering and technology postsecondary school located in Rolla,
Missouri. This public, co-ed institution
currently holds a student population of
approximately 7,647.
Founded in 1870 as The
University of Missouri School of
Mines and Metallurgy (MSM), it
was established in response to the
acute need for scientific and
practical education in Missouri. At
the time, the school’s curriculum
weighed very heavily on the
state’s immediate technological
needs in the state mining
industry. As time went on,
however, courses included a
wide range of engineering
fields, chemistry, metallurgy,
mathematics, physics, and
geology. As the United States
emerged from WWII, the
School
of
Mines
and
Metallurgy began to become a
leader of education in the
quickly
advancing
technological world. In 1964,
the
name
changed
to
University of Missouri-Rolla,
or UMR, a symbol of more
expansion into the fields of
life science, computer science,
nuclear engineering, liberal
arts, and more. In 2008, the
name changed again to the
Missouri
University
of
Science and Technology.

Meal Plans
Plan 1: $1750 Points
With this plan, half of the student's points are distributed
each semester ($875/semester). The balance
remaining in the fall will roll over into the spring
semester as long as they remain on a plan. Points are
just like real money except they can only be used for
food on campus. Your student ID acts like a check card
when eating at dining facilities. Points are accepted at
all campus dining facilities.
Plan 3-7
Meal Meals Per Points Per
Plan Week
Year
Plan 2: 300 Swipes + $215 Points
With this plan, half of the student's swipes and declining
balance dollars are distributed each semester (150
swipes and $107.5 per semester). The balance
remaining in the fall will roll over into the spring
semester as long as they are still on their plan. Swipes
are similar to meals per week but they are rolled over
from week to week instead of lost like the meals per
week plans. This plan averages out to be just over 9
meals per week if you compare it to the other
plans. This plan is great if you are planning on paying
for friends of family to eat because you can use multiple
swipes per dining period which you can't do with meals.
