I was accepted into the Certificate Program, but I was told by their own staff and professors that I will likely not be accepted for a Graduate Program. I have a GPA of 4.0, but professors still say that they don't know me well enough to give me recommendations for the Graduate Program. One professor even said, "hey, I'm not even sure I would be accepted if I applied!" I feel unsupported, and demotivated thanks to lack of cooperation from professors who are fine with giving me A's for my hard work... Read More in class, but not helping me progress further. All in all, classes can be great with dedicated professors who know the content or incredibly disorganized. It is hit or miss. Additionally, the Cybersecurity program has some course requirements that are not relevant to the career. The professor for the Risk Management class himself told me, "I'm not sure how this will help your career as a CS analyst." Apparently, he is not aware that his class is a requirement for the CS program. Very encouraging. Additionally, the Software Design class is very interesting on its own, but I am yet to understand how it will be helpful to a CS analyst. That is 2 courses right there, out of a total of 6, who might not contribute to your advancement in the CS field. The school has potential. Let's hope the administration gets their act in order. If an online option is being offered, students should not be treated differently for choosing it.

Overall, WPI is an OK school. If you want to go here for IMGD, you are better off burning all of your money than going here as that would save you 4 years. This program is a mess. The classes don't teach what they need to, there aren't enough resources for the small number of students they have, and most of the professors act like children who have been given too much power. On multiple occasions I have heard professors s**t talking students to other students and bully students with mental disabilities....

I cannot speak more highly of the education I received at WPI. The application of the education I received is still applicable today. As I write this review, I am currently unemployed after having left a company. Since leaving the company, I have received 1 job offer and have had 2 interviews within 2 weeks! I am not sure how I would have fared having gone to another school in the country. WPI students are desirable in today's job market! I would enroll all over again if I was a promising high school...

WPI has a long-standing reputation as one of the Northeast's premier engineering schools. While their MBA program is relatively new, it's received decent ratings in annual program rankings. With that said, I feel the program is quite strong. The professors have strong backgrounds both in past MBA programs and in impressive business positions (CEOs, entrepreneurs, etc). They're all very engaged, excited to be at WPI, and almost always available to reach out to. The curriculum is intense but well-rounded,...

I commute when I need to be on campus, which is a good thing; Worcester isn't a great city, despite endless efforts to change it. There are constant reports of theft and suspicious persons, there isn't much to do, and it's not pedestrian friendly. However, there are a few other colleges in the area, so at least there are other students "in the same boat." The MBA program is quite costly, and scholarships are apparently available to some, but I've yet to meet anyone who's received one. I still feel the cost is probably worth it, when compared to other programs (many lesser schools have program costs that are on par, if not more). However, the location of the program itself seems to warrant a bit of a discount; a $60k master's seems more acceptable coming from Boston than Worcester. But hey, you're paying in part for the WPI name.

I have felt extremely challenged by WPI's grad program. I have completed the MBA and a few classes in the Physics PhD Program, and it has been a wonderful experience so far. I will have completed 2 bachelors, my MBA, and PhD when all is said and done here at WPI. I decided to continue my education here because of the world-wide connections this university holds in the world of biotechnology and bio-engineering. My goals lie in Medical Physics, and there is probably no other networking university... Read More compared to WPI.
