From the Institution

Stevens Institute of Technology is a premier technological research university focused on advancing technology and science to solve the world's most pressing challenges and transform our future. Located in Hoboken, New Jersey - one of the nation's top-rated college towns - the Stevens experience delivers a mix of cosmopolitan life (restaurants, arts and culture abound); riverside green spaces; skyline views; and easy access to New York City, the world's financial and media capital, 10 minutes away by train or ferry. The university's forward-thinking, technology-first approach has yielded outstanding outcomes for students, who are highly sought after by leading employers and top graduate and professional schools: 96% of Stevens graduates achieve their intended outcomes within six months of graduating. Known for stellar engineering programs since its founding in 1870, the university has nimbly leveraged its technology orientation over the past 150 years to develop additional high-impact programs in business, the arts and the humanities including programs in quantitative finance, science and technology studies, visual arts technology and music technology. Stevens research addresses challenges in critical areas including artificial intelligence, business and finance, energy and sustainability, health and medicine, quantum science and engineering, and urban and coastal resilience. The university also possesses the agility to rapidly develop new programming in response to the evolving needs of business, industry and society; the curriculum incorporates a unique blend of technical rigor, team problem-solving exercises and entrepreneurial training - creating tremendous value both for students and the companies who recruit and employ them. Robust internship and cooperative education programs, and personal attention from a career center recognized as among the very best in the nation, further prepare Stevens students for highly competitive job markets. Graduates emerge prepared to hit the ground running in today's complex, cross-functional, highly technical work environment, then advance rapidly in the workplace, earning some of the highest starting and mid-career salaries in the nation and realizing very high ROI (return on investment). Alumni, faculty and students have long earned global recognition as tech pioneers, CEOs and game-changers for accomplishments ranging from the invention of IMAP email and Bubble Wrap to the student-designed solar home SURE House, which won first prize in the 2015 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon and is now a permanent exhibit at Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. This momentum has led to Stevens' inclusion in U.S. News & World Report's select list of "Most Innovative Schools" and a host of other institutional honors and awards. The university has also made a significant commitment to enhance diversity and access through the A. James Clark Scholars Program to provide financial support and enhanced learning opportunities for talented students underrepresented in the engineering field and the Stevens ACES (Accessing Careers in Engineering and Science) program, which encourages talented high school students from underserved communities to pursue STEM careers and educations. In addition, Stevens has created a more supportive environment for women: according to Forbes it is one of three U.S. universities where female graduates out-earn men. Stevens students are intelligent, motivated and involved: they embrace possibility, chase opportunity and welcome challenges. This spirit extends to life both on and off campus, from the performing arts to community service, from club and varsity sports to entrepreneurial ventures that take root as viable businesses and services. With more than 140 student clubs and organizations on campus, 23 NCAA Division III athletics teams to play and cheer for, and a vibrant, exciting city to call home, Stevens students truly have it all at their fingertips.
