Preparing You Today for the Career of Tomorrow

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) offers a wide range of graduate programs designed to meet the needs of today’s STEM professionals. With flexible learning options available both online and on campus, WPI makes it easier for students to balance their studies with professional and personal commitments.

Why STEM-Designated Programs?

International students on F-1 visas studying in STEM-designated fields—like those at WPI—can extend their stay in the U.S. for up to three years after completing their degree. This extension allows them to engage in practical training and research, further enhancing their skills and career opportunities within the U.S.

Types of Graduate Degrees Available
