Founded in 1870, Stevens Institute of Technology is a leading private research university located in Hoboken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Stevens is recognized for its strong integration of technology and management education, and its location offers unparalleled access to the New York metropolitan innovation ecosystem.
The Stevens School of Business—home to approximately 2,500 students—prepares leaders who understand both the business and technological dimensions of decision making. Under the leadership of Dean GJ de Vreede, who joined in September 2024, the School continues to expand its portfolio of programs and research that combine business, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
In 2025, the School introduced the M.S. in Business Analytics & Artificial Intelligence, which integrates advanced analytics, AI, and business strategy to prepare graduates for leadership roles in data-driven enterprises. The program reflects Stevens’ emphasis on applied learning—covering machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, and ethical considerations for responsible deployment of intelligent systems.
The School also offers a Graduate Certificate in Management of Artificial Intelligence, which provides business professionals with the skills to assess AI opportunities, build and interpret predictive models, and translate data-driven insights into strategy. The certificate enrolls more than 400 participants from Fortune 500 companies, underscoring the School’s ability to connect theory and practice at scale.
At the doctoral level, Stevens offers two research-intensive programs: the Ph.D. in Business Administration (Information Systems concentration) and the Ph.D. in Data Science. Both programs develop scholars capable of advancing knowledge at the intersection of technology, analytics, and management science.
Research at the School of Business reflects a deep commitment to technological innovation and its business applications. Flagship centers include the Center for Research toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT)—the first NSF-funded fintech Industry–University Cooperative Research Center—advancing research in decentralized finance, AI-enabled finance, and quantum finance. The New Jersey Fintech Accelerator at Stevens (NJ FAST), established with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and Plug and Play, strengthens the regional innovation ecosystem by supporting fintech and insurtech startups.
