Graduate Programs
Applying to WPI’s Graduate Programs
WPI offers world-class graduate programs that prepare our students for leadership roles in a wide range of fields, often crossing boundaries between traditional areas of study in order to address the most critical problems of our day. To pursue your graduate studies at WPI, or for additional information about the application process, please visit our Graduate Admissions website.
The Manufacturing Engineering (MFE) Program offers two graduate degrees: the master of science and the doctor of philosophy. Full- and part-time study is available.
The graduate programs in manufacturing engineering provide opportunities for students to study current manufacturing techniques while allowing each student the flexibility to customize their educational program. Course material and research activities often draw from the traditional fields of computer science, controls engineering, electrical and computer engineering, environmental engineering, industrial engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, and management. The program’s intention is to build a solid and broad foundation in manufacturing theories and practices, and allow for further concentrated study in a selected specialty.
Admission Requirements
Candidates for admission must meet WPI’s requirements and should have a bachelor’s degree in science, engineering, or management, preferably in such fields as computer science/engineering, electrical/ control engineering, industrial engineering, environmental engineering, manufacturing engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, or management. Students with other backgrounds will be considered based on their interest, formal education and experience in manufacturing.
