Graduate study has been a part of the Institute's activity for more than 100 years.
Classes are small and provide for close student-faculty relationships.
Graduate students frequently interact in research with undergraduates participating in WPI's unique project-based program of education. The Community WPI is set on an 80-acre hilltop campus situated in a residential section of Worcester, MA, a city of 170,000. The city, the second largest in the six-state region, has many colleges and an unusual variety of cultural opportunities. Located three blocks from the campus, the nationally famous Worcester Art Museum contains one of the finest permanent collections in the country and offers many special activities of interest to students. The community also provides outstanding programs in music and theater.
