mario.qiaoUID: 2944749

Hi, David! I notice that you offer 4 different majors, I wonder if they require a specific professional background or not. For example, is it possible for someone to apply the MS in Marketing and Innovation without relevant work experience? And if so, how can he or she will be considered as a qualified candidate? Thank you!

If you are applying to WPI you only need work experience if you are applying to the MBA.  You do not need work experience for the other MS degrees.

Hi David，welcome~ I wonder how many international students you plan to admit this year? Thank you.

Ivana123UID: 3701627

Hi, David.
I am wondering what is the total employment rate of the graduates of MSMI? And what is the employment rate of different professions. For example, what percentage did the graduates who worked as a xxxx take up in the whole graduates?

Besides, I heard that it is hard for graduate students to apply an on-campus grad house. So how many houses are available for us to apply this year or about what percentage of graduation students can apply a house successfully?

Thanks a lot and look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Sir, thank you for your time to be here. I wonder if we non-business students are welcomed in these majors? If we were lucky enough to be adimitted, what should we do to catch up with other business students? Is it hard? Could you be kind to provide us non-bussiness candidates some suggestions to be better? What measures the school will adopt to help us? THX.

I don't have employment rates for the MSMI.  I do have rates for the last graduating class overall. 92% of the last graduating class were able to find positive career outcomes within three to six months after graduation.
