Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has been gaining national attention for our STEM forward approach to business education. Poets&Quants, one of the leading sources for business school news and rankings, recently produced two separate articles recognizing both the undergraduate and graduate business programs. 

In the article “10 Undergraduate Business Schools to Watch in 2025,” Poets&Quants for Undergrads highlights WPI among other standout institutions across the country. The piece specifically highlights the project-based curriculum, STEM integration, and post-graduation outcomes. 

It also features a Q&A with Kwamie Dunbar, interim dean of The WPI Business School and professor of finance, who offers insights into the program’s growth, new academic offerings, and the unique value WPI provides.  

WPI’s online MBA program was mentioned in a separate article, “2025 Best & Brightest Online MBAs.” The piece profiles WPI employee Ermal Toto, PhD ’21, MBA ’25, who shares his experience with the program, balancing work and study, and how he has grown as a leader since entering the program. 

Both pieces from Poets&Quants highlight the strength and momentum of the business school.
