Admissions Decisions 

Completed applications are reviewed by the academic unit.  Applications are accepted for the fall and spring semesters depending on the program and are reviewed on a rolling basis. Notification on the outcome of the admissions process occurs on a rolling basis for admission to the following semester. Wentworth Institute of Technology reserves the right to be the exclusive judge of the acceptability of any applicant for admission to its programs of study. All acceptances are contingent upon successful completion of the specified undergraduate degree program and maintenance of the minimum GPA standard. The decision of the graduate committees related to all aspects of admissions is final.  

The admissions committees perform a holistic review of applications. The recommended undergraduate GPA is 3.0. The admissions committee may request other material if the GPA is below 3.0.

Students who have attended regionally accredited institutions may receive a maximum of 2 courses or 8 credits completed with a final grade of B or higher that are comparable in depth and content to those offered at Wentworth. Under no circumstances will graduate credit be granted for undergraduate credit completed at another university. 

Records Maintenance and Disposal
