Went on to a research doctorate
4.3per 100 bachelor's graduatesU.S. average: 2.0
From 2016 to 2025, 477 Missouri University of Science and Technology graduates earned a research doctorate, most often in engineering, physical sciences, and biological and biomedical sciences.
Research doctorates (PhD, EdD and similar) only: medical, law and business degrees aren't counted. The rate divides those doctorates by the bachelor's degrees Missouri University of Science and Technology awarded from 2008 to 2017, allowing for the typical eight-year gap; fields with longer paths, like the humanities, read low.
