Numbers tell a compelling story.

For over 20 years, Worcester State University has been ranked a top university, regionally and nationally, and has been named a best value in education by local and national organizations.

That is because, despite being a public university, Worcester State maintains small class sizes and a low faculty to student ratio. And, year after year, graduates in large numbers go on to exciting and rewarding careers or further their studies in graduate school. See what others have to say about the University and the great return you will get from your Worcester State education.
