About Stevens Institute of Technology

ABOUT STEVENS

Stevens Institute of Technology is a premier, private research university situated in Hoboken, New Jersey, overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Founded in 1870 by America's First Family of Inventors  — who patented steam ferries and the modern form of railroad track, among many other inventions — technological innovation has remained the hallmark of Stevens’ education and research programs ever since.

Today, within the university’s three schools and one college, 6,600 undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with faculty members in an interdisciplinary, student-centric, entrepreneurial environment. A range of academic and research programming spanning business, computing, engineering, the arts and other fields actively advances the frontiers of science and leverages technology to confront our most pressing global challenges.

Stevens' alumni network, more than 40,000 strong, also continues to make national and global impact while contributing energy, ideas and support to the continued growth and momentum of the university.

A Stevens education is different. Educated by a unique curriculum blending technical training, teamwork, design projects, internships and cooperative education opportunities, Stevens graduates are consistently in high demand by industry leaders and agencies seeking highly prepared, solutions-oriented employees and team members. Stevens graduates also enjoy starting and mid-career salaries that outpace those of graduates of nearly all other U.S. higher educational institutions. Learn more about career services at Stevens.

U.S. News & World Report rankings of higher education institutions have recognized Stevens as one of the nation's top universities since 2011. Stevens has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education since 1927, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) since 1936, and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) since 2015.

Stevens is home to three national research centers of excellence as well as interdisciplinary research programs in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity; data science and information systems; complex systems and networks; financial systems and technologies; biomedical engineering, healthcare and life sciences; and resilience and sustainability. We also maintain extensive professional networks and relationships with leading universities, government agencies and industry.

Professional Engineer Programs

The engineer’s degree is a terminal professional degree beyond the master's degree. The purpose of the Stevens professional engineer program is to advance the training of engineers beyond the master's level and to provide modern education for engineers whose master's degrees are not recent. A design project is required of graduates. Professional engineering degrees are currently available in the designations of Chemical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Computer Engineer, Computer Science, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer and Physics.

Ph.D. Programs

Stevens' doctoral programs are designed for students who will independently investigate specific problems within their fields of knowledge in great detail, making significant new and original contributions to that particular body of knowledge. As our doctoral students pursue research in their chosen field of science, engineering, or management, they develop study plans in close collaboration with faculty advisors.
