The Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics and Computing (MASMC) is a two-year residential early college entrance program for gifted high school students at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, replacing the junior and senior years of high school. It provides an opportunity for students with a passion for math and science to get ahead in a college career, earning both a high school diploma and an Associate of Science degree.

Editorial Note: The academy was not intended as an opportunity to get ahead in one's college career. The goal was to "graduate scholars who are both academically and developmentally prepared to succeed in the best college and university science, mathematics and technology programs". While you do receive an AS and a high school diploma, the "best" colleges and universities often won't accept most of the college credit you do earn at Northwest Missouri State University, and I suggest that it be looked on as an educational opportunity, not as cheap college credit, even though Dean Samudzi seems to view it this way.
