From the Dean
Do you want to change the world? We do. Worcester Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1865 to create and convey the latest science and engineering knowledge in ways that are most beneficial to society. In 1949, in recognition of the important role that businesses play in that process, WPI created the School of Industrial Management, today known as the Foisie Business School. Businesses are the predominant way in which STEM advances benefit society. That is, beneficial deployment of STEM advances requires individuals working together in an organization. Modern STEM-driven businesses are complex and differ from other businesses. The FBS helps STEM professionals learn to navigate and lead these complex STEM-driven organizations in ways that accelerate their impact. Are you intrigued? Our graduate and undergraduate admissions teams would be happy to talk with you. Steven S. Taylor
