Stevens Institute of Technology is a private research university located in Hoboken, New Jersey, on the Hudson River with views of the Manhattan skyline. Founded in 1870, the institution operates three schools and one college, offering 35 undergraduate majors, 58 master's degree programs, and 20 Ph.D. programs across disciplines spanning engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, sustainable engineering, biomedical research, quantitative finance, and the arts.
The university's research portfolio encompasses work on cancer medications, AI systems designed to detect falsehoods, and green filtration technologies for removing chemicals from drinking water. Students engage in hands-on research experiences, industry-leading internships, and cooperative learning opportunities rather than classroom instruction alone. The institution's proximity to New York City provides access to professional networks and employment opportunities across multiple sectors.
Stevens emphasises a technology-driven approach to education and research, with particular strength in emerging fields including machine learning, cybersecurity, and environmental engineering. The curriculum reflects this practical orientation, with students expected to build, launch, and lead solutions to real-world problems across energy systems, biomedical applications, water treatment, and other applied domains.
