Experiential Learning

Cooperative Education

The premier form of pre-professional development, Cooperative Education is the hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technologies, taking what you learn from our faculty in the classroom and applying it in the workplace. It's working alongside professionals in business or industry. A unique academically-based program that allows you to gain valuable work experience before you graduate, Stevens' co-op program has both four- and five-year options. Currently, 40 percent of Stevens Institute of Technology undergraduates participate in the program, using their academic preparation to solve real-world problems and create innovative products.

The theory-practice approach of the Stevens programs differs from that of other institutions, because at Stevens you alternate semesters of classroom study with full-time semesters of paid, professional employment that is directly related to your major field of study and your career goals. By blending the two, you get the best of both worlds – outstanding academic preparation and impressive hands-on experience – to yield an education unlike any other.

Internships

Stevens is extremely successful in connecting students to summer internships with many of the world's leading companies. Our Office of Career Development has relationships with hundreds of companies who recruit Stevens students precisely because our rigorous, one-of-a-kind training has a proven record for helping companies achieve their corporate goals.

At Stevens, you have the opportunity to take on a challenging paid internship in a professional position the summer after your freshman year. Thanks to our partnerships with Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, you'll start building a network of colleagues and take what you've learned in the classroom onto the job site, where you will gain experience and build an impressive resume.

Research

Research opportunities at Stevens are numerous, as our faculty members are constantly working on new, exciting projects in their areas of specialization. Students at Stevens are able to get involved in this research as early as the summer after their first year, a relatively rare opportunity at the undergraduate level.
