Stevens Institute of Technology

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.

At Stevens, sustainability is not only built into our classrooms and campus. It's built into our curriculum. Stevens has always enjoyed a close relationship with the city of Hoboken. Today, students continue to volunteer considerable time to worthy local causes, and to answer the call during local emergencies. The university also offers a robust program of public events and lectures. And Stevens' very presence is responsible for creating and sustaining thousands of jobs in the region.

Our mission is to inspire, nurture and educate leaders in tomorrow’s technology-centric environment while contributing to the solution of the most challenging problems of our time.
