“Rensselaer has so many things available to its students because of its location in the Capital Region as well as activities offered on campus. I always feel like I can join a group of friends and easily find something to do.
RPI has the resources available to give you what you want and need from the college experience.”

RPI is widely recognized for the effectiveness of its hands-on approach to undergraduate education. Rensselaer’s classrooms are a model for intellectual engagement and the interaction of students and faculty.

| Discovery |
|
Throughout its history, Rensselaer research has produced ground-breaking work in a broad range of important areas.
Early RPI engineering graduates built bridges that linked people, commerce, and communities. Today, Rensselaer people are building the bridges that will link the world to the promises of new technologies.
The collaborative efforts of our students, faculty, corporate partners, and government agencies are generating a new momentum in research and the development of innovative technologies, including biotechnology, information technology, and nanotechnology.
Creating and applying knowledge, and interdisciplinary inquiry, with a rigorous approach to solving problems, Rensselaer men and Rensselaer women are fulfilling the university’s role as a place where people find innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.

| Entrepreneurship |
|
A “can do” attitude for getting the job done is a well-known component of Rensselaer’s DNA. That ability to think and do has characterized the RPI graduate since 1824.
At Rensselaer, the popular business definition of “entrepreneurship” has been redefined and broadened in such a way that it transcends traditional boundaries as a way of thinking and approaching challenges creatively.
In addition to their commercial successes, innumerable Rensselaer students, faculty and alumni have combined vision, analytical capabilities and an entrepreneurial way of thinking to change the world for the better through a wide range of important contributions.
