Are you ready to get started on your online journey to a graduate degree or certificate from WPI? Our dedicated team is available to help you through every step of the admissions process. With a rolling admission process, you can apply for an online program at any time with no application deadlines.
Getting Started
Our flexible programs allow students with a technical bachelor's degree to take up to two WPI courses before formal admission into a master’s program. Credits from these courses may be transferred into a graduate program upon formal admission into that program. If you’d like to take a few courses before formally applying, the first step is to complete our enrollment form. Once submitted, a WPI representative will be in touch within 48 hours to get you registered into your first course. You can view our online offerings, by term, on the Registar’s site.
While WPI allows students to take two courses, we strongly encourage students to begin the application process right away. Successfully completing a course does not guarantee or equal admittance to a program.
For students who feel that they need to refresh some of their skills, or who receive a conditional acceptance, our prep courses may help. Admittance to a degree program is required for most prep courses.
Admissions Requirements
Entrance to a WPI online graduate program requires a relevant bachelor’s degree from a highly accredited university, preferably ABET accredited, if earned in the United States (especially for engineering programs). Students are permitted to apply with unofficial transcripts initially, however official transcripts are required once admitted and moving forward.
