WORCESTER – A total of 2,393 undergraduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) were named to the university’s fall 2024 Dean’s List. The criteria for the Dean’s List differ from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI students are named to the Dean’s List based on the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and hands-on projects.
