About This School

Stevens Institute of Technology is a private nonprofit institution located in Hoboken, New Jersey with approximately 4,222 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 48% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $41,346 per year. The graduation rate is 87%, and the typical graduate earns $91,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

Stevens Institute of Technology is a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. Founded in 1870, it is one of the oldest technological universities in the United States and was the first college in America solely dedicated to mechanical engineering. The 55-acre campus encompasses Castle Point, the highest point in Hoboken, a quad, and 43 academic, student and administrative buildings.

This is a strong option for students serious about engineering or tech, with a 90% graduation rate and median earnings of $91,900 a decade out — a return on investment that's hard to argue with. The $40,468 average net price is real money, but the relatively modest $23,250 median debt suggests many students aren't drowning in loans after graduation. Worth considering if you want a focused STEM environment with strong career outcomes, though students looking for a large, socially diverse campus experience may find the small Hoboken footprint limiting.
