At Worcester State, students engage with faculty to perform cutting-edge, transformative research that serves to advance the world we live in – our community, state, nation, and beyond. The University values the curiosity and drive which leads students to explore a topic of academic interest through research.
We recognize the importance of reinforcing student learning with experiences outside the classroom. Each year, Worcester State recognizes the accomplishments of hundreds of our scholars and researchers at the Celebration of Scholarship and Creativity, and our Faculty Showcase.
