“A technology-focused university perched above the Hudson River with sweeping views of Manhattan — where engineering excellence meets financial innovation.”
Stevens Institute of Technology, founded in 1870 in Hoboken, New Jersey, is one of the nation's oldest technological universities. Overlooking the Manhattan skyline from Castle Point on the Hudson River, Stevens occupies one of the most striking campus locations in the country. Its proximity to New York City makes it a powerful hub for students pursuing careers in finance, technology, and engineering. Stevens is renowned for its programs in engineering, computer science, financial engineering, and cybersecurity. The Schaefer School of Engineering & Science and the School of Business are consistently ranked among the best in the nation for return on investment, and Stevens graduates command some of the highest starting salaries of any university its size. The university has a strong co-op program and close ties to Wall Street quantitative finance firms, defense contractors, and major tech employers. With just 4,000 undergraduates, Stevens offers an intimate campus experience with the resources of a major research institution. Students enjoy a tight-knit community, Division III athletics, and immediate access to the world's greatest city via the PATH train — just a 10-minute ride to Midtown Manhattan.
