Not sure which engineering major you want to pursue yet?
Don’t worry – your freshman year gives you time to figure out which major is best for you.
Freshman Curriculum
Freshman year
The freshman year curriculum is the same for all engineering majors: civil, electrical and mechanical. The EGR 110 course (Study and Careers in Engineering) covers the different fields of engineering and helps you decide which one you want to pursue.
The following degree plan is based on the 2026-27 catalog and Missouri State general education requirements.

Additional notes
- You must satisfy the admission requirements in the Missouri State University catalog and be admitted to Missouri State University.
- The remaining three years of the engineering curriculum depends on the major you select.
- If you're majoring in civil, electrical or mechanical engineering, you will complete your degree on the Missouri State University campus. Your degree will be granted from Missouri S&T.
- If you want to pursue a different engineering degree, you should consult with an academic advisor to plan your second year of course work at Missouri State University. You'll prepare to transfer to Missouri S&T or another engineering school to complete your degree.
- Formal admission into the cooperative engineering program will be made by the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), in consultation with Missouri State University, according to the admission criteria described in the Missouri S&T catalog.
- Refer to prerequisite requirements for any math (MTH) class requirements.
