It's no secret. A great education costs a lot of money. WPI is no exception. Our world-class faculty, close student-faculty interaction, access to cutting-edge facilities and technology and unique collaborative project experience add up to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop your talents and launch your career.

For WPI graduates, starting salaries frequently exceed the national averages and graduates are able to move quickly up the ranks to positions of influence as a result of their excellent skills and experience. Top employers regularly recruit our seniors for key positions: they know that WPI students graduate with an unbeatable combination of confidence and competence in their chosen field.
It's no wonder that U.S. News & World Report regularly ranks us among the top schools in the nation for Best Value. We invite you to learn more about how to make one of the most highly rated and highly valued undergraduate experiences in the nation affordable for you and your family.
