Placement Support At Wentworth Institute of Technology

Wentworth has one of the clearest placement models of any university in its category because co-op is a core part of the undergraduate experience. The university says every undergraduate graduate completes at least two semesters of full-time co-op work.

What Wentworth Emphasizes

Wentworth's outcomes data is very strong for a technical university. The school reports that 91% of graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months, 97% work in their field or major and the median full-time starting salary is $72,240.

That kind of result is closely tied to the co-op structure. Students spend meaningful time in industry before they graduate, which makes the transition to full-time work smoother.
