University profile
Stevens Institute of Technology is a private technological university on a 55-acre waterfront campus in Hoboken, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from Manhattan. It opened in 1870 under the will of inventor Edwin A. Stevens and is known for engineering, science, computing, business and finance, with technology at the core of its undergraduate and graduate programmes.
Academic work is organised in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science, the School of Business, the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Professional Education, which delivers online degrees and certificates. A School of Computing covering computer science, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity is targeted to launch in Fall 2026. The university offers 34 undergraduate majors, 48 master's programmes, 30 Ph.D. programmes plus one interdisciplinary programme, and 116 graduate certificates (B.E., B.S., B.A., M.S., M.Eng., Engineer, M.B.A. and Ph.D.).
In Fall 2025 Stevens enrolled 4,206 undergraduates and 4,161 graduate students, with 354 full-time faculty (AY 2025-26) and a student:faculty ratio of 11:1. International students make up 4% of undergraduates and 48% of graduate students, and the student body represents more than 50 countries. Cooperative education, externships, accelerated master's and doctoral programmes, an Accelerated Pre-Medicine Program and a Pre-Law pathway are among the special programmes.
Seven residence halls house undergraduates during the academic year, alongside living-learning communities (First Generation Scholars, WiMSE and the Lore-El Center), campus dining, a fitness and recreation centre and student clubs. Because residential space is limited, new incoming graduate students cannot live on campus; most graduates live in Hoboken, Jersey City and nearby communities. Hoboken sits a short train, bus or ferry ride from Manhattan.
Stevens has been continually accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education since 1927. Engineering and computer science programmes are ABET accredited, business programmes are accredited by AACSB, and further recognitions include the American Chemical Society, the Project Management Institute and National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity.
Stevens considers every admitted undergraduate automatically for merit scholarships, which range from $2,000 to full tuition and renew for up to eight full-time semesters. Named awards include the Ann P. Neupauer Scholarship (full tuition for engineering, mathematics or computer science), the Edwin A. Stevens Scholarship, the Martha Bayard Stevens Scholarship, the Presidential Achievement Scholarship, the invitation-only A. James Clark Scholarship and ACES Scholarship, the Global Impact Scholarship, the FIRST Robotics Scholarship (up to $6,000 per year) and the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship for transfer students (up to $5,000 per year). See Stevens Scholarships.
The Castle Point Grant is institutional need-based aid for full-time undergraduates who are US citizens or permanent residents; it requires the FAFSA and CSS Profile (Stevens CSS code 2819). Beginning Fall 2026, The Stevens Investment covers full tuition through grants and scholarships for first-time, first-year, full-time undergraduates who are US citizens or permanent residents, have family income of $75,000 or less, and live on campus in their first year. See The Stevens Investment.

Full-time graduate tuition and fees are $47,826; total cost of attendance is $70,826 on campus, $71,176 off campus and $52,852 for commuters. Graduate funding includes the Provost Master's Scholarship, the Stevens Fulbright Fellowship, teaching and research assistantships (2026-2027 stipends of $28,762, $30,453 or $32,115 by level of completed education) and doctoral fellowships including the Provost Doctoral Fellowship. Applicants who apply by the preferred deadlines are considered for merit scholarships.
International students are not eligible for US federal aid. Stevens awards a limited number of merit scholarships to international undergraduates, including the Global Scholarship for exceptional academic achievement; applicants must submit the CSS Profile (code 2819) by the deadline on the admissions timeline. Aid for international graduate students is limited, and options include merit scholarships, assistantships and fellowships. See undergraduate international student resources.
