Class of 2025 Outcomes Report: Stevens Graduates Find Success With Early Career Opportunities, Salary
As a launch engineer at SpaceX, Konnor Gertz ’25 credits Stevens for preparing him — academically and professionally — for his career.
“Through Stevens’ Co-op Program, I gained valuable hands-on experience in the aerospace industry, where I assisted in developing and testing valves launched into space. This became a key discussion point in nearly every job interview I had,” he said. “My senior design project and coursework further strengthened my technical skills and gave me the confidence to tackle complex, real-world engineering challenges. Stevens provided the technical foundation, industry exposure and project experience I needed to transition confidently from college to a meaningful and rewarding career.”
Gertz is just one of the more than 93% of Class of 2025 graduates who achieved his desired outcome — either employment or graduate school — within six months of graduation. With the recent release of The Undergraduate Class of 2025 Career Outcomes Report, Stevens has reinforced its position as a leading institution that successfully prepares students for their next steps: Along with the desired outcomes rate, women graduates boasted an even higher outcomes rate of 96% and graduates entering the workforce begin their careers with an average salary of $86,900. Notably, 83% of employed graduates completed at least one work experience (internship, co-op job or summer research) before graduation.
“At Stevens, we teach students a way to learn on their own for the rest of their lives, and that approach is recognized by employers who recruit our graduates,” says Stevens President Nariman Farvardin. “Our commitment to excellence in all we do — responding to the fundamental shifts in the technology workforce, creating knowledge that transforms our understanding of the world and preparing students not just for their first job, but for lifelong career success — has resulted in this remarkable career outcomes report.”
The School of Business produced impressive outcomes, with finance majors achieving a 97% career outcomes rate with an average salary of $91,700, while graduates from the in-demand quantitative finance program achieved a 100% outcomes rate with an average salary of $89,800. Graduates from the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science also found success, with computer science majors averaging a $97,400 salary — the highest among all undergraduate majors — and physics, mathematics, and civil, environmental and naval engineering graduates achieving a 100% outcomes rate.
The report also highlights the companies that hired two or more members of the Class of 2025, including Amazon Web Services, BNY, Google, IBM, L3Harris, PepsiCo, Verizon and Wells Fargo, among others. Additionally, students pursuing advanced degrees are doing so at prestigious universities such as Johns Hopkins, Trinity College Dublin, Yale and, of course, Stevens Institute of Technology.
The success of Stevens and its graduates is widely recognized. Jeff Selingo, a New York Times bestselling author and higher education expert, named Stevens one of only 75 schools in his “Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You,” guide, citing its strong outcomes, accessible admissions and engaging student experiences. Stevens is also ranked No. 9 nationally by U.S. News & World Report for colleges that pay off long-term, No. 12 nationally by The Princeton Review for career placement and No. 45 on LinkedIn’s Top Colleges 2025 list.
“Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the resources and education Stevens provided,” said Katie Bloomer ’25, a fertility advisor at Extend Fertility and graduate of the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. “Pursuing the unique science communication major enabled me to develop a background in both the humanities and sciences, a skillset that is particularly valuable as I provide direct support to patients in the healthcare industry.”
