Applicants should have achieved academic standing sufficiently advanced to assure completion of a bachelor's degree before their projected matriculation at Oxford. A wide variety of grants for graduate study abroad, usually for research toward the doctorate, is available through the federally-funded Fulbright Grants Program. Contact the Graduate Admissions Office for more information. There is also a research Ph.D. in biomedical science offered through a consortium. Further information and specific requirements for these advanced degrees may be found in the Graduate Catalog.
Several departments have special brochures describing their programs.
The evening program is operated by WPI to serve the educational needs of technical and management professionals in central New England. Although the number of courses in each discipline may be limited in any given year, the schedule of courses is such that students taking two courses per semester are able to complete the course requirements for the master of science or master of engineering degree in about three years or the M.B.A. in four years. Students may enroll in individual evening graduate courses without being admitted to a graduate degree program. Those who wish to obtain a degree must apply for formal admission prior to completing four courses. Exceptions to the four-course rule exist.
