Faculty Resources
Wentworth became a residential campus approximately twenty years ago and 2,200 students call the campus home today. The university offers the benefits of a vibrant, student-focused, small-college environment, surrounded by everything that an academically and culturally vibrant city has to offer.
Wentworth has a reputation as an institution offering life-changing education beginning with its students, who have a reputation for being hardworking and humble, taking advantage of its hands-on, active learning model, which starts in the first year, includes a cooperative education component, and culminates with a capstone experience.
