World-Class Value From Day One

Higher education is one of the most important investments students and families can make–but accessing higher education can be challenging. Which is why, from the moment students step foot on campus, WPI provides the education, experience, resources, and support needed to ensure they achieve the personal and financial success that is a hallmark of a WPI education.

Why Employers Love WPI Students

How WPI Pays You Back

Students come to WPI, named one of the “Top 50 Colleges that Launches Careers” by The Princeton Review, expecting to earn a good living after graduation. From participating in life-changing experiences to perfecting invaluable soft skills, what they leave with is so much more—not to mention earning starting salaries more than 38% higher than the national average (NACE, 2018 graduates)

WPI Career Fair Employer Perspective

Earn Experience and Income

Many students earn extra income to offset educational expenses and gain valuable experience through paid summer internships or four- to eight-month, full-time co-op positions—all while graduating within four years. Hundreds of opportunities are available each year with global companies like Boston Scientific, ExxonMobil, General Electric, SpaceX, and Tesla.

Less Debt, Strong Returns

A college degree is an important investment, and one that WPI is committed to helping students achieve. The Office of Student Aid & Financial Literacy assists families in identifying all possible aid options, with loan programs, BS/MS programs in four or five years, and on-campus employment also available. Combine this with above average salaries in high-demand STEM fields, and it all results in prompt debt repayment well above the national average and a high-quality life for students.

Secure Your Financial Future

We consider your first day on campus the start of our mission to prepare you for life after graduation. Our lifetime career services, which include one-on-one coaching, workshops, digital resources, and access to a robust alumni network, have consistently ranked among the best in the nation. And we don’t stop there—we want you to know what to do with your earnings; our financial literacy sessions help you to do just that.
