[How Azimuth compares programs across colleges](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) ## Further analysis Outcomes at Missouri University of Science and Technology vary sharply by field, and [Azimuth's program ranking](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/)s evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 13 ranked programs and earnings data for 21 fields. Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, not a count of students. The degree mix is overwhelmingly engineering: Engineering accounts for 65.9% of bachelor's degrees awarded, with Computer & Information Sciences a distant second at 12.5% and Engineering Technologies third at 5.8%. Mechanical Engineering is the largest single program, and Azimuth ranks it #77 nationally and #2 in Missouri, with graduates earning a median of $91,742 four years after completion. The highest-earning program is Computer and Information Sciences, at $107,195, which also carries a national rank of #42. The best nationally ranked program is Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services, which Azimuth places #7 in its field, with median earnings of $73,519. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
