Hollis Greenberg
Watching students make the connection between academic topics and the real-world is exciting. Our students take both Business Management and Computing courses. They're exposed to a breadth of disciplines and graduate with a unique ability to apply technology to solve business problems.
Parnia Alipour
"Being in small classes gives me the opportunity to have that 1:1 with my professors. Therefore, I am not just a number for them, and they get to know me. Being in the heart of Boston in my early 20s is also a great opportunity to network, explore and build my career."
Michael Mozill
"In the Senior Capstone course my students work on projects where they show the world what they have learned in their four years at Wentworth, that they are ready to start their careers, and they will become productive business professionals. I'm fortunate to help our students grow intellectually, socially, and occupationally while they're here."
