Being part of Missouri S&T’s Global Engineering Program offers an extraordinary, immersive experience that elevates everything a traditional study-abroad program provides—while still honoring the immense value of any international learning journey. This program blends language and cultural immersion with a robust engineering curriculum and a semester-long professional internship abroad, creating a powerful pathway for globally minded engineers. Students do not just graduate with a dual degree (BS/BA)—they spend two semesters in a foreign country, build technical and linguistic skills side by side, tackle engineering challenges through a global lens, and form international networks that propel their careers forward. The Global Engineering Program layers on a purposeful, engineering-focused framework that magnifies this growth and aligns it directly with each student’s academic, personal, and professional aspirations.

Program Details
In S&T’s five-year Global Engineering Program, you will complete:
- A Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in one of S&T’s Engineering disciplines of your choice,
- A Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Multidisciplinary Studies with your choice of Spanish, French, or German.
- Year-long international experience after you complete your third year (Junior year) at Missouri S&T. The program includes one semester at the partner university, followed by a semester-long internship with a prestigious multinational company in the host country.
Stand Out From the Crowd
In this program, you will learn how to work well in international settings, and your command of another language will be a benefit to you and your future employers. Engineers who speak more than one language can effectively communicate with peers and clients, navigate diverse work environments, and understand the cultural aspects of their projects.
The Numbers Behind Global Engineering Success
97% of students who study abroad are employed within a year of graduation; of those students, 25% earn more than peers who did not. (Council on International Educational Exchange)
There was a 54% increase in International STEM Jobs in 2024, proving a growing global demand for STEM‐trained global talent. (Boundless)
For U.S. who students abroad in 2022–2023, only 5.4% studied engineering and only 27% studied in STEM overall. This shows that engineering-specific study abroad is still relatively uncommon, meaning those who do will STAND OUT! (Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges)
