Turn Your Tech Talent into Leadership Momentum

This summer, start earning a business minor built for STEM students—at 50% off, on your schedule.

E-Term classes are limited. Register early to secure your spot.

Be Ready to Lead in Your First Job

You already know how to build solutions to complex problems.

A WPI business minor shows you how those solutions become business decisions—how they’re funded, prioritized, and scaled in the real world.

In an entry-level landscape shaped by AI and automation, technical skill gets you hired.

Business acumen gets you into leadership.

Start This Summer. Benefit for a Lifetime.

Ask WPI alumni what accelerated their careers, and many will point to one advantage: pairing technical depth with business fluency.

  • Stand out for internships and full-time roles.
  • Access promotions and leadership opportunities earlier.
  • Become credible—and confident—in rooms where decisions are made.
  • Build a foundation for entrepreneurship or product leadership.
  • Increase your long-term earning potential.
