Missouri Tech's History

Missouri Tech has enjoyed over 70 years of success in preparing students for technical jobs. In 1932 Professor Charles J. Schwarz founded Missouri Tech to teach the 'new' field called "radio". As technology advanced, the school also progressed, developing courses in television during the 1940's and computer technology in the 1980's. Today the school continues to update and refine its programs to prepare students for jobs into today's demanding technolgical fields.

Leadership at Missouri Tech took a dramatic step forward in 1987 with the arrival of Paul Dodge as President. With over twenty years of industry experience, supervising and training employees in computer science, Paul brings a passionate belief in the value of practical experience to a theoretical education. Missouri Tech has always benefited from an outstanding faculty and today is no different. Currently the faculty is made up of leading educators in their fields who strongly support Paul Dodge and his vision for Missouri Tech.
