Our outstanding faculty have earned us a #1 ranking in schools that do the best in combining scholarly research with classroom instruction. Donor support helps us recruit faculty like Reeta Rao, who received the 2018 SIMB Waksman Outstanding Teaching Award for excellence in teaching, mentoring, and research.
Humanities
By teaching students within a curriculum firmly rooted in the complex human context, WPI prepares students to be humanist engineers and scientists who understand the wide-ranging influence the STEM disciplines have on the world. Your support of the university is developing the next generation of well-rounded change-makers.
