Message from Professor McRae C. Banks
No doubt you have heard how important innovation is to business success today. We agree.
That is why the focus of our business programs is on developing innovative and entrepreneurial leaders for the technological world. At its core, this is what we have always done: help students develop technical competence and business expertise, and understand how to integrate the two, thereby propelling them to the top of organizations.
Our faculty members have designed business programs that combine an innovative curriculum with practical application. They champion active learning in their courses, ensuring that you learn relevant and important theories and how to apply them. They can do this because they are active researchers and many of them have won awards for their work. They are also among the very best teachers at WPI . Most important, they are readily accessible and care about your success.
Our approach results in graduates who are strong problem solvers and effective communicators who bridge the gap between business and technology, and who contribute to the strategic growth of their organizations. Such outcomes have helped us achieve numerous national rankings.
The bottom line: we offer you a distinct edge that enables you to distinguish yourself. In a globally competitive world of business and technology, that is precisely what you need.
Thank you for considering WPI . I look forward to meeting you on campus.
