Placing nationally in seven online graduate education categories between the Charles V.

This also marks the 11th year in a row that Stevens’ online graduate degree in information technology has ranked No. 1 in New Jersey.

“Education — and the rigor and relevance of delivering that learning — is Stevens’ core competency, and it’s especially relevant in our online programs,” said Arshad Saiyed, Chief Online Learning Officer and Dean of the College of Professional Education (CPE), which offers several of Stevens’ online programs, as well as shorter-term certificate programs. “Our success is evidenced by these ranking recognitions year after year, and results from our commitment to offer technology-infused programs and to engage and meet learners where they are in their respective career journeys.”

The rankings for all seven programs are:
