Urban Studies- Adjunct Pool

About Worcester State University

WORCESTER STATE UNIVERSITY is a vibrant public university located

in the residential west side of Worcester, Massachusetts, the

second largest city in New England and home to 38,000 college

students at more than a dozen colleges and universities. Situated

on a compact 58-acre campus, the University offers 50 undergraduate

and graduate academic programs to more than 6,400 students

annually. The Princeton Review ranks us as one of the 75 "Best

Value" public colleges in the country, as well as a "Best in the

Northeast" college. Of the 13 undergraduate public universities in

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Worcester State University is

one of only three to earn the latter distinction, which is largely

based on academic quality and student surveys.

Our tag line, "Change the way the world works," speaks to our

commitment to graduating students who are not only prepared for

a difference. With a marketing slogan of "Academic excellence at an

affordable price," the University strives to provide the best

academic experience to students from all walks of life.
