The Robert A. Foisie Business School at WPI integrates science, technology, engineering, and math into all of our graduate programs. Consistent with WPI's mission of theory and practice, a project-based approach to learning and doing is ever-present in the Foisie Business School's curriculum led by our astounding faculty.
Over the years, Mr. Foisie, a self-made innovator and entrepreneur, built a long and generous history of philanthropy at WPI, with a particular focus on scholarships. Prior to making this gift, the trustee emeritus was already the university’s largest single donor. His philanthropy to WPI includes the establishment of the Robert Foisie Scholars Fund in 2009 and 17 other undergraduate scholarships named in honor of WPI professors who influenced his life.
“The financial assistance that I received during my time at WPI allowed me to stay in school and realize my potential as an innovator and entrepreneur," said Mr. Foisie. "This university means a great deal to me, and the knowledge that I gained here, the people I engaged with, and my experiences have been invaluable to my growth as a person and a successful businessman.”
In addition to our undergraduate business program, the Foisie Business School also offers a world-class MBA as well as specialized master's programs. Merit-based scholarships are available for all graduate business programs.
