It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Stevens Institute of Technology's ranking in the 2024 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #76. Its tuition and fees are $60,952.
Innovation and entrepreneurship is stressed at Stevens Institute of Technology, a research-intensive school primarily known for its engineering, science and management programs. Incoming freshmen are required to have the proper technology, and can use special school discounts to buy a laptop that can work with the software specialized to their major. Students can opt for a cooperative education track, which is a five-year program with mostly alternating semesters of class and full-time, paid work. Students participating in the Stevens Cooperative Education Program complete a full first and fifth year at Stevens, and pay for only four years of school.
Though Stevens focuses heavily on science and engineering, the university is organized into four schools or colleges, which includes the College of Arts and Letters. This college takes a unique approach to a traditional liberal arts education because the coursework emphasizes the intersection of the arts and humanities with science and technology.
On campus, in Hoboken, New Jersey, there are more than 100 clubs and organizations, including about 15 fraternities and sororities. Housing is guaranteed for four years, and more than 60% of students choose to live on campus. The campus lies along the Hudson River, and New York City is a boat or subway ride away. The Stevens Ducks compete in the NCAA Division III Middle Atlantic Conference, or MAC. Through the school’s Adopt-a-Team program, all student athletes have a faculty mentor to help them juggle sports and school work.
The school was exclusively for male students until 1971, and now, females make up 30% of the student body. Notable Stevens alumni include Alfred W. Fielding, one of the inventors of Bubble Wrap packaging material, and Frederick Winslow Taylor, widely known as the father of scientific management.
