Every undergraduate completes two co-op semesters, applying classroom knowledge to real-world settings and building professional networks before graduation. This model produces exceptional results: 91 percent of graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months, 97 percent work in their field or major, and the median starting salary is more than $72,000. 37 percent of the Class of 2023 were hired directly by their co-op employers.Wentworth's distinctive approach and commitment to student success have fueled growing national recognition. The university earned the top ranking in Massachusetts from The New York Times when measuring earnings, mobility, and diversity, was highlighted by the Carnegie Foundation as one of only five STEM institutions with “Higher Access, Higher Earnings,” and has been recognized in Forbes' Top Colleges list. The School of Engineering has also seen steady gains in U.S. News & World Report rankings for both “Best Value Schools” and “Undergraduate Engineering Programs.”Wentworth's trajectory is guided by its 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, which sets forth a bold vision to make the university a national destination for STEM and design education.

With an annual operating budget of $155 million, an endowment valued at $161 million, and more than $40 million in new philanthropic commitments secured in FY25, Wentworth continues to attract strong external investment in its mission.In 2024, Moody's affirmed the institution's credit rating of Baa1 with a stable outlook.Located on a 31-acre campus in Boston's Fenway neighborhood, Wentworth provides students with modern residence halls, a vibrant library and learning commons, and more than 60 specialized labs and studios. Design students benefit from an unmatched 1:1 student-to-studio ratio. In 2024, the university unveiled a 10-year Institutional Master Plan that will transform the physical campus with three new academic buildings, three new residence halls, and expanded green spaces. When completed, the plan will increase housing capacity from 2,200 to 3,900 students, while also adding a new athletics field house and doubling the campus's green space to advance sustainability and resiliency.Wentworth's story is also defined by its enduring mission of access and innovation.
