A note from the President…

  • Dear family members,

    Congratulations on your student’s acceptance to Worcester State University! The choice of which university to attend is a big decision for the entire family. As a father of three, I have gone through this process and I know firsthand the significance of the college selection process. You should feel confident in your choice of Worcester State – one of New England’s top-ranked institutions according to The Princeton Review, U.S. News and World Report, and Money Magazine. Your student will follow the path of many successful alumni who started their educational journey at Worcester State and I look forward to welcoming them as a member of the incoming class!

    Worcester State is proud to be the home of Major Plus, our unique academic framework that allows all new students to complete TWO academic programs in the same four years at no extra cost. With great opportunities for leadership characteristic development, Major Plus gives Worcester State graduates an advantage after college.

    As you have likely read in the news, the U.S. Department of Education’s changes to the FAFSA form experienced unforeseen setbacks in its early release. This will impact when universities like Worcester State will receive student information to assemble financial aid award letters. For this reason, we have made the decision to extend our deposit deadline for all accepted students to June 1, 2024. If your student is ready to secure their spot at Worcester State for the fall, I encourage them to pay their deposit before June 1 to begin the enrollment process.

    I hope you and your student will join me for Congratulations Day for Accepted Students on Saturday, April 6, 2024. To RSVP, go to worcester.edu/congratsday. After attending this celebratory and informative event, you will have the opportunity to secure your student’s spot for fall 2024. I am confident your student will be successful and supported during their time at Worcester State and I look forward to welcoming them to campus this fall. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach me at presidentsoffice@worcester.edu. I will be happy to hear from you.

    Sincerely,

    Barry M. Maloney
    President
