What is the cost of studying for a year at Wentworth Institute of Technology?

Wentworth is a private institution, so its published undergraduate tuition does not differ by Massachusetts residency. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $41,984 and required fees were $900. Reported room and board added $19,498, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,500.

  • 2024-25 undergraduate tuition and required fees: $42,884.
  • 2024-25 tuition, required fees, room, board, books, and supplies combined: $63,882.
  • Additional expenses to budget for: transportation, personal costs, and any program-specific supplies or charges.

That combined figure is not a universal bill: housing choices, meal plans, course loads, and other expenses vary. A later published tuition figure should not be added to the 2024-25 housing estimate and presented as a single-year cost.

Financial aid changes the amount a student may ultimately pay. Reported average net price varies by family-income group; for families with annual income of $48,000 or less, it was $27,588. That is an average after applicable grant aid, not an individual award or a borrowing recommendation. Students may be considered for federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, and federal loans by completing the required aid applications and meeting eligibility rules. Reported aid data indicate that 55% of students in the measured population used student loans, so comparing grant aid separately from borrowing is essential. Eligible veterans and dependents should also have the veterans-benefits office review how education benefits interact with their aid offer.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wentworth Institute of Technology?

Wentworth's cooperative-education model gives students a way to pursue career-related work during their degree. A co-op is a planned professional experience tied to academic progress; its timing, requirements, and availability should be checked in the student's particular program.

Career support includes individual and group advising, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer recruitment, and career fairs. These are services, not employment outcomes or promises of a placement. Students can use them to prepare applications and evaluate opportunities before a co-op or postgraduation search.

Federal Work-Study is different from a co-op or an ordinary part-time job. It is a need-based aid program for eligible students, typically determined through financial aid, and an award does not itself assign a position. Students seeking campus employment should check the current student-job listings and confirm whether a posting requires a Work-Study award.
