Our online, master’s, and Ph.D. programs combine solid theoretical knowledge with practical experience in a student-centric environment. Our expert faculty mentor you with the professional skills you need to succeed in evolving industries.

The Schaefer School offers master of science and master of engineering degrees in a variety of disciplines across our nine departments. View our programs below, separated by degree type.

Advance your post-graduate education – and your career – with a professional engineer degree in one of these areas of study.

The professional engineer degree advances the training and education received in a master's program and provides modern education for engineers who's engineering degrees are not current.

How it Works

The professional engineer degree designates completion of a program of studies at the graduate level beyond the master's degree in scope, but with an overall objective. You will be required to apply the subject matter acquired in formal graduate courses to a problem more consistent with one they are likely to encounter as a practicing engineer. Work on this problem in the form of an independent project will constitute a substantial part of the overall program of study. Specifically, it may be a design project, a process evaluation, or an engineering feasibility study involving economic, social, and managerial aspects.

The School of Engineering and Science Ph.D. programs combine solid theoretical knowledge with practical experience in a collaborative, student-centric environment. As a doctoral student at Stevens, you'll be able to work with some of the brightest minds in your field pursuing groundbreaking research that has the potential to change the world.

The challenges facing today's scientists and engineers often exist at the intersection between various disciplines–whether between engineering and science or fields within individual disciplines. At Stevens, engineering and science come together under one roof, fostering a proactive, interdisciplinary environment that encourages results-driven collaboration and unique, innovative problem solving.

The inviting educational environment at the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science is a home away from home for international graduate students. International students from more than 60 countries are welcomed not only by the Stevens campus community, but also by the city of Hoboken, our charming home city that is just minutes from all that New York City has to offer.

An expanding worldwide network of research, academic and alumni partners circles the globe and includes productive partnerships with international universities and institutions reflecting a culture that celebrates and embraces diversity.

Our partnership with Tsinghua University in China facilitates cooperative research and the exchange of students and training initiatives. It offers exciting opportunities to School of Engineering and Science students, including co-Ph.D. programs and dual M.S. degrees in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and deep learning. As an international student, you’ll study with and be mentored by distinguished professors, who are scholars, researchers and experts in a number of federally designated STEM degree programs.

I remember the first day I attended Stevens. I didn’t know how a professor here would think or explain concepts, but my thesis advisor was very patient. I grew a lot because of him.” –Pei-Kang Sun Ph.D. Chemical Engineering

Graduate student societies within each department foster collaborative student relationships. Robust student affairs and networking opportunities are designed to help you adjust and thrive, while a school focus on your career development offers a pathway to U.S. work experience.

Full-time international students with F-1 immigration status are eligible for work authorization through federal Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) benefits that lead to work experience directly related to academic areas of study. Additional employment opportunities include internships and Cooperative Education.

The School of Engineering and Science offers student-centric academic academic advising and study planning, and access to academic resources to ensure graduate success.

Graduate academic advisors in the Schaefer School are committed to the holistic success of each graduate student; promoting academic, professional, and personal success.
