WPI Online programs are designed with the working professional in mind. No matter your location or schedule, an advanced degree from WPI is within reach.
For more than forty years, we have delivered superior distance education to graduate students around the world. It is our mission to make sure each student feels connected, supported, and successful. Each student will be assigned to a Student Success Manager who will support your educational journey, help you overcome obstacles, and answer any questions you might have.
Our online students receive the same world-class instruction as our on-campus students, delivered by expert WPI faculty. Support services tailored to the needs of working professionals are also available, in addition to the resources offered to every WPI student.
Quality Graduate Education
Our convenient online courses are open to both on-campus and distance learners.
All courses and degrees delivered online contain the same content and material one would receive in a traditional classroom, and students earn the same certificates and degrees as their on-campus counterparts. In addition, online students have the benefit of 24/7 access to their courses.
Please note: online students are held to the same high standard as all WPI students. They are expected to keep pace with course content and engage actively in all of their courses, adding value to the collaborative learning environment.
This level of participation requires regular access to high-speed Internet via a personal computer.
