Serving Worcester and beyond.

Learn by doing.

At Worcester State, we believe the best way to learn is by doing.. Our Centers & Institutes give students the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on experience with some of today’s most pressing issues including human rights, civic engagement, social innovation, global media, healthcare and sustainability. Through our Centers & Institutes, students get the skills and knowledge they need to lead lives of professional accomplishment and engaged citizenship.

For STEM majors, you can take advantage of the Peer Assisted Learning mentor program! We also have the Writing Center , and the Academic Success STEM Center.
