About WPI

Founded in Worcester, Mass. in 1865, WPI is one of the nation's earliest technological universities. From our founding days, we've taken a unique approach to technological education.

Where science and technology meet real world problems.

We believe that students should understand how to apply knowledge – not just how to cite facts and theories. Our undergraduate and graduate students emerge ready to take on some of the most difficult challenges in science and technology – and, more importantly, understand how their work can truly impact society and improve our lives.

A national model for education.

According to William Wulf, President of the National Academy of Engineering, "The kind of engineering education at WPI is a model of what engineering education should be." And we have received recognition from a number of other institutions and individuals for our high quality and unique approach to education.

Outstanding academics, faculty and research programs.

WPI's 18 academic departments offer more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degrees, including the M.S., M.E., M.B.A. and Ph.D. We have world-class faculty who work with our students in a number of cutting-edge research organizations that are discovering innovations in biotechnology, nanotechnology, information security and more.

If you find our fresh perspective on science and technology education exciting, we hope you'll join us -- whether you want to pursue a degree or just upgrade your skills.
