About the Office of Corporate and Professional Education

Mission

Building upon Stevens' mission to inspire, nurture and educate leaders in tomorrow’s technology-centric environment, the Office of Corporate and Professional Education focuses on providing lifelong learning opportunities. Through the School of Business, the School of Engineering and Science, the School of Systems and Enterprises and the College of Arts and Letters, the center offers access to the breadth and depth of graduate and professional education at Stevens through a variety of learning modalities that can be customized for an entire business enterprise to educate and train their workforce down to the individual needs of a single student.

The center has a long history of providing graduate education and professional education programs to Fortune 500 firms, federal labs and government agencies, plus niche programs for smaller ventures. These partnerships have allowed Stevens to impact the careers of working professionals. Additionally, we continue to learn as to how we can best serve the technical workforce. This has become evident in how we structure our programs to meet the varied schedules of professionals with on-campus programs in the evening or weekend, on-site at your location  and through StevensOnline programs to accommodate the student across the Hudson River and world-wide.
