A history of excellence
Founded in 1904, Wentworth Institute of Technology is a
nationally-ranked institution that
is accredited by the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC).
Wentworth offers career-focused education through bachelor's degree programs in architecture, computer science, design, engineering, engineering
technology and management.
The power of career-focused education
Wentworth's three-part experiential learning model — career-oriented
classes, hands-on labs and studios, and a co-op program that is one of
the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the nation — ensures
employers have a high regard for our students. Wentworth's career
services staff work one-on-one to find the perfect co-op for each
student. 100% of our co-op placements are directly related to the
student's major. Wentworth students graduate with eight months to one year of
professional, paid work experience in their field and on their resume.
Small school benefits, big city resources
This private, coeducational college is located on 35 acres in the
heart of Boston. With 2,600 full-time day students, Wentworth provides
individualized, personal attention for each of our students. In addition
to the friendliness of a small school community, students benefit from
the resources of a larger university through our partnership in the Colleges of the
Fenway consortium, and students have access to all the excitement of
Boston, the ultimate college town. Learn
more about campus life.
Colleges of the Fenway
Wentworth is a member of this six college consortium representing 12,000

Learn while contributing to the community
Wentworth's Center for Community & Learning Partnerships (CLP) facilitates creative activities and programs that address community needs while simultaneously enhancing each participating Wentworth student's educational experience. The Center focuses on the student's capacities of technology, management, design, and youth/family outreach to help local non-profits and community groups with their individual challenges (e.g. developing an operational business plan for the community’s wireless network; creating a web portal that will allow professional and citizen planners and urban enthusiast to share information, pictures, journals, and ideas; or developing a capital campaign and business plan for a local health organization).
