Welcome to WPI!

Keeping students engaged and motivated throughout their college experience is fundamental to a WPI education. That engagement starts in the months leading up to your arrival on campus, to New Student Orientation where you will meet upperclassmen, faculty, and staff and learn all about campus life, to immersion into our distinctive programs focused on a successful transition to college (in and out of the classroom), to initiation into university-level research and the project-based curriculum.

We are very excited for you to begin your journey at WPI. Please use the information found on this site to navigate your next steps and get ready to join us in the Fall!
