In an ever-changing world of commerce and innovation, preparing students for the professional world is no easy task. Stevens School of Business was recently recognized for its ability to provide this for students, with U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School Rankings placing several of Stevens’ programs in the Top 100 of its rankings nationally. In fact, the Stevens School of Business saw the largest jump of any of the graduate programs, rising 24 spots to number 53 in “Best Graduate Business Schools” in the nation and ranking number 2 in New Jersey, second only to Rutgers.
The Stevens School of Business offers a wide variety of programs for students at the graduate level including: Business Intelligence & Analytics, Enterprise Project Management, Finance, Financial Analytics, Financial Technology and Analytics, Financial Engineering, and Information Systems. The Stevens School of Business has also received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). This distinction is one of the most prominent and recognized forms of accreditation that business schools and programs can receive. This, in turn, places Stevens among the top 5% of business schools to receive such a distinction.
In addition, the School of Business oversaw the launch of two major projects and centers associated with research at Stevens. The first of which was the MaCuDE Project, which is a Stevens-led initiative that stands for Management Curriculum for the Digital Era. The project collaborates with more than 50 business schools in the United States and Europe and aims to update education in the fields of finance, leadership, ethics, and business to provide students with the necessary tools to succeed. The project focuses particularly in the intersection of business and technology, something that is a great focus of the School of Business. The second major development is the Stevens-led Center for Research and Financial Technologies (CRAFT), which is the first ever financial technology research center that is backed bythe National Science Foundation. The industry, academia, and government partners in the center work to work towards generating research and student projects that will better develop the workforce and help build a finance curriculum for a changing world.
The School of Business was not the only graduate program at Stevens to rise through the US News Rankings this year. Stevens’ Graduate Programs in Biomedical Engineering rose to No. 79 from No. 82, Chemical Engineering to No. 84 from No. 97, Computer Engineering to No. 71 from No. 79, and Environmental Engineering to No. 77 from No. 81.
Stevens also has a top spot on many of the other university rankings across the US, including being in the Top-100 universities in the US, and No. 57 among “Most Innovative Schools”, according to U.S. News and World Report, among the countries “Best 387 Colleges” according to the Princeton Review, and among the Top Colleges and Research Universities as ranked by Forbes.
