WPI’s undergraduate program brings together diverse and well-prepared students with faculty members who are experts in their disciplines and who truly enjoy teaching. Project-based learning is embedded in every aspect of study, preparing our graduates to make the most of their knowledge, initiative, and ideas. We keep terms short and classes small. The study is more intense, but so is the support to help you succeed.
Our curriculum and degree requirements are designed to help young women and men graduate as thoughtful global citizens, ready for impactful personal and professional lives—and to find and fulfill their passions along the way.
At WPI you will be encouraged to branch out, cross disciplines, and experiment, whether in pursuit of a bachelor's degree, a double major, a BS/MS, a specialized minor, or even designing your own major. Whatever your path, you will be required to explore the interface between technology and society—and that will make all the difference.
Through WPI's distinctive plan, you'll learn how to learn by applying your classroom experiences in research and projects that challenge you from a proficiency, social, and global perspective. Learn more about how WPI can prepare you to pursue your passions in solving critical problems and develop skills employers value.

WPI was featured by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) as an example of how institutions can place high-impact educational practices at the heart of their curriculum. Founded in 1915, AAC&U is a leading national association concerned with the quality of undergraduate liberal education.
Keeping students engaged and motivated throughout their college experience is at the cornerstone of a WPI education, and that begins from the first day students arrive on campus. We offer programs and resources beginning with our distinctive mentoring program focused on a successful transition into college - both in and out of the classroom - to initiation into WPI's project-based curriculum.
