Mission Statement

The mission of the College of Arts and Letters at Stevens Institute of Technology focuses on the following two goals:

First and foremost, to provide for all Stevens students, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, a comprehensive and relevant education in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, emphasizing the ways in which the history and development of science, engineering, and technology influence and inform our world.

This is achieved in the following ways:

  • By educating engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, and scientists in a manner that enables them to become literate, articulate, and ethically responsible.
  • By educating artists and humanists to be comfortable with advances in science and technology, as well as proficient in the history and development of the fields that encompass them.

Second, to advance research and scholarship at the intersection of science, technology, the arts, and humanities. This is achieved through our unique and distinctive academic programs, centers, conferences, and resources.

Cal Centers

Center for Science Writings

Stevens Institute of Technology created the Center for Science Writings in 2005 to draw attention to writings, from books to blogs, that shape public perceptions of science. Stevens hired the science journalist John Horgan to serve as Director of the Center. The Center, which is part of the College of Arts & Letters, sponsors free, public events at which prominent writers--including journalists, scientists, engineers, philosophers and other scholars--visit Stevens to discuss science-related issues. 

Center for Technology, Policy & Ethics

The Center for Technology, Policy, and Ethics (CTPE) is an interdisciplinary center sponsored by the College of Arts & Letters at Stevens and supported by its other schools with the aim of promoting research, education, and intra-university dialogue in different fields of applied ethics and policy.
