Strategic Plan

The University of Now hasn’t always been our tagline, but it has always been our ethos. Wentworth was launched at a time when American society was in transition. Post-Civil War industrial expansion, urbanization, and immigration created both the need for new economic and employment opportunities and the means of fulfilling that need. This ethos has kept our university restless and ambitious. As inheritors of this legacy, we have many strengths on which to build our strategic plan. 

 

Return On Investment

We commit to offering a high return on investment by providing an education that equips our graduates with knowledge that is coupled with a highly valued skillset. We accomplish this through opportunities to address real-world challenges, applied research, social impact projects, cooperative education, collaborative experiences, cross-cultural exchange, and the effective use of advanced technologies.
