In the most recent 2022 Best Online Programs ranking of “U.S. News and World Report,” three Stevens schools were recognized: the Charles V. Schaefer School of Engineering and Science (SES), the School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE), and the School of Business. Stevens was placed nationally in seven online graduate education categories and has claimed the number one program in New Jersey in three of those categories, marking the seventh year in a row that Stevens’ online program MBA (Master of Business Administration) has ranked number one in New Jersey.
The rankings for all of the seven programs were: Best Online Graduate Engineering Specialties for Industrial (Systems) Engineering, No. 7 (No.1 in New Jersey), Best Online Graduate Engineering Specialties for Engineer/ing Management, No. 9 (No. 1 in New Jersey), Best Online Graduate Engineering, No. 25 (No. 1 in New Jersey), Best Online Graduate Computer Information Technology, No. 8 (No. 1 in New Jersey), Best Online MBA – Business Analytics Specialty, No. 19 (No. 1 in New Jersey), Best Online Graduate Business (non-MBA), No. 28 (No. 2 in New Jersey), and Best Online MBA, No. 42 (No. 1 in New Jersey).
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jianmin Qu said, “As a leading provider of technology-infused graduate education, we are dedicated to providing our online students with top-flight programs and a rich learning experience. These prestigious rankings confirm the value of our innovative online learning technologies and pedagogies and our dedication to meeting the needs of today’s students no matter which learning modalities they choose.”
Senior Vice Provost for Graduate Education Dr. Constantin Chassapis said, “I am particularly proud that three of our programs are ranked in the top 10 of their respective categories as we continue to pursue our goal to deliver world class education to our online students. This distinction validates our plans to grow our online offerings to provide students a competitive advantage as they focus on advancing their careers.”
Matthew Menture, a Stevens graduate of the engineering management program, said, “The flexibility of online learning allowed me to work full-time and get my master’s at the same time, and my professors were able to think outside of the stereotypical classroom to provide my peers and myself with a quality, well-rounded education that was offered completely online. My employer saw the potential of my advanced education, and I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today without my master’s degree.”
The online program helps many Stevens students. 96% of graduate students seeking jobs—including online and traditional students—secure employment within three months of graduation with an average salary of $86,918 and an average sign-on bonus of $14,368. The number of students enrolled in online master’s programs university-wide in Fall 2021 was 54% higher than that of Fall 2020: the business school increased by 31%, SSE by 45% and SES by an astounding 101% (SES saw online students making up 9% of its graduate population in 2021, up from 3% in 2020), further showing the value of StevensOnline.
