ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Cooperative Education
Program
Cooperative education at Stevens is an exciting opportunity to expand upon
and apply classroom theory in a professional work environment before you
graduate. In its simplest terms, Co-Op is a five year academic program
in which you alternate semesters of full time study and full time work
experience in a professional work environment related to your major. Co-Op
employers range from the giant multinational corporations to very small
consulting firms any place in the United States. Some students have even
worked abroad.
The Stevens Co-Op Program includes the first year spent at Stevens, completing
the academic requirements of freshman year and preparing for the professional
world of work. During the following three years, you alternate semesters
of increasingly responsible work in industry and study at Stevens. The
fifth (senior) year is then spent at Stevens. The Cooperative Education
Office is located on the seventh floor of the Wesley J. Howe Center. |
 Junior Year Abroad
As a junior at Stevens one has available an international program with
the University of Dundee. At Dundee in Scotland, UK tuition, room and
board are paid to Stevens. Each person has to pay their own living expenses.
Those in these programs receive full transfer credit for all courses
taken abroad, provided prior approval has been given by the departments
involved. For more information speak to Dean Cesmebasi in the Office
of Undergraduate academics on the tenth floor of the Wesley J. Howe Center. |
NYU
Cross Enrollment
Under an arrangement negotiated between New York University and
Stevens Institute of Technology, Stevens students can, with
permission enroll for courses offered at the College of Arts
and Science at NYU provided they have the required
prerequisites. Such courses taken under this arrangement for
credit toward the students undergraduate program at Stevens are
available without charge. For more information please go to
NYU Cross registration. |
Pre-Med
and Pre-Dentistry
Several Stevens students each year go on to successful careers in medicine.
The way to start is to seek the guidance of the Health Professions Advisory
Committee, headed by Dr. Nuran Kumbaraci of the Chemistry Department. Stevens
Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) will guide you in preparing
for admission to professional schools of medicine and dentistry. Any four
year program at Stevens (B.A., B.E., B.S.) which includes one year each
of general/inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology with lab, physics,
lab., math, and English satisfies the requirements for entry into U.S.
medical and dental schools. These are only minimum requirements - most
schools recommend additional courses. The national exams (MCAT, DAT) must
be taken at the end of the junior year. Participation in summer research
(see UPTAM) and community or hospital activities are strongly recommended. |
Accelerated
Three-Year Programs
Combined BS-DMD programs with the University of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-New Jersey Medical School and New Jersey Dental School
are open to selected high-school seniors. Students complete three years
in the Accelerated Chemical Biology program and four years in the medical/dental
school.
A combined BS-DDS program with Columbia University - School of Dental and
Oral Surgery is offered to selected students in the Chemical Biology program
at the end of the freshman year. Entry to the dental school is possible
after completion of three years in the Accelerated Chemical Biology program. |
Pre-Law
An accelerated pre-law program with New York Law School in Manhattan is
available to Stevens students. High school seniors may apply for an accelerated
three years at Stevens and three years at New York Law School to receive
a six year dual degree program of a BE/JD, BS/JD or BA/JD. Incoming students
are given guaranteed seats at New York Law School upon entry to Stevens.
The student must maintain a 3.0 GPA at Stevens and is not required to
take the LSAT. This is the only arrangement of its kind in the country.
Students at Stevens can major in any of our four programs of study (Comp.
Sci., Hum., Eng., or Sci.).
Any Stevens freshman and sophomore interested in attending law school after
graduation from Stevens, may apply "early" to New York Law School. Students
with GPAs over 3.0 showing an interest in patent, environmental, or telecommunications
law may get early notification from New York Law School as early as the
end of the sophomore year regarding admissions.
Stevens has a full collection of Law School catalogs. In addition, there
are several recent Stevens graduates who are more than willing to share
their knowledge of the Law School application experience. Contact Professor
Laccetti in the Humanities Department for more information on these programs
in Pre-Law. |
Reserve
Officers' Training Corps (ROTC)
The Air Force ROTC is available through cross enrollment at New Jersey
Institute of Technology in Newark. The Army ROTC is available through Seton
Hall University in South Orange. Participation in both programs is voluntary
and open to men and women.
ROTC offers a two and four year program. In the four year course, lecture
and laboratory courses are taken in the freshman and sophomore years and
a four week field training session is required between the sophomore and
junior years. The two year program is taken during the junior and senior
years and is identical to the final years of the four year course except
that a six week field training course is required.
Students enrolled in ROTC in the first three undergraduate years are not
required to enroll in physical education. Opportunities exist for ROTC
scholarships covering tuition, lab and incidental fees and textbooks, along
with a stipend.
When you successfully complete the ROTC program you may receive a commission
as a second lieutenant. For further information on the Air Force ROTC program,
