Stevens Institute of Technology, The Innovation University™, is a private co-educational institution of higher learning founded in 1870. Stevens is located on a 55-acre campus in Hoboken, New Jersey. It overlooks the Hudson River and has stunning views of the Manhattan skyline of New York City.

At present, Stevens consists of three schools and one college: the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management (STM), the Charles V.

At the undergraduate level Stevens offers four-year full-time and five-year cooperative educational experiences leading to Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering, and Bachelor of Arts degrees. Undergraduate courses are taught in the traditional classroom mode supported by a variety of digital learning platforms and experiential learning programs.

At the graduate level Stevens offers Master's degrees in science, engineering, business and technology management on campus, primarily during the evening hours.
