August 2006 - WPI becomes the 194th SAGE member college! Founded in Worcester, Mass., in 1865, WPI was one of the nation's earliest technological universities. From it's founding days, they've taken a unique approach to science and technology education. WPI believes that students should understand how to apply knowledge – not just how to cite facts and theories.

"Our undergraduates and graduate students emerge ready to take on some of the most difficult challenges in science and technology. More important, they understand how their work can truly impact society and improve our lives."

WPI is ranked No. 53 among all national, doctoral universities by U.S. News & World Report; No. 1 for student/faculty interaction in the National Survey of Student Engagement; and No. 9 by The Princeton Review for "best career prospects" for graduates of our MBA program. And that's just the beginning of the recognition we've received from a large number of institutions and individuals for our high quality and unique approach to education.
