Welcome to Wentworth Institute of Technology! It is an exciting time to be a student at Wentworth and to experience the hands-on learning opportunities that are unique to how we help prepare the future leaders in engineering, technology, and design.
Whether you are looking to become an engineer, architect, interior designer, construction manager, computer scientist, or facilities planner, you will join a talented class of students driven to succeed in these and similar careers. These professions make a tremendous difference in improving the lives of others and making the world a better place to live.
Located minutes away from downtown Boston and near many of the historic landmarks of the city, Wentworth is a vibrant learning community that houses approximately 70 percent of our students and offers over 3,600 students access to a high quality education in a caring environment that helps students achieve academic excellence, value the importance of community service, and fuel the local economy.
Our entrepreneurial-minded students gain valuable work experience through our nationally recognized co-op program. Students gain real-world skills by applying in an industrial setting what they have learned in the classroom and labs/studios, and ‘test the waters’ of a specific discipline to ensure they are entering the career best suited to their interests and career objectives. Close to 70 percent of our graduates get jobs with their co-op companies and many have multiple job offers!
In addition, service learning is an important aspect of a Wentworth education. Our students are civic leaders and understand the importance of giving back to the community. These initiatives are exciting dimensions to hands-on learning and to the overall education of our students.
I hope you consider the opportunity to become part of our school community and eventually join our over 33,000 alumni in realizing what it means to be a Wentworth graduate and the value of a Wentworth education.
I hope you can visit our campus to witness first-hand the Institute’s offerings and how we can prepare you to reach your career goals.
Sincerely,

Zorica Pantić, Ph.D.
President
