Return is among the highest we track. The typical graduate earns above the median at comparable schools. Most graduates are estimated to go into work rather than further study, so the four-year earnings figure is measured when most are in the labor force. Affordability is below the levels seen at many peers. The net price for the lowest income band sits well below the published cost, while the highest band pays closer to it. Pell students complete below the rate for the entering cohort as a whole, and mobility is above average. The admission rate is below the median for comparable schools, and the degree mix is concentrated in engineering and computing fields. A student drawn to the largest programs should know that the best-paid ones are not the largest. ## Stevens at a glance ### Admissions and outcomes **Admission rate[\[1\]](#hub-data-note-admission)** 47.6% **Six-year completion[\[2\]](#hub-data-note-completion)** 86.9% **Four-year earnings[\[3\]](#hub-data-note-earnings)** $112,538 ### Cost and family borrowing **Average annual net price · $48–75K family income[\[6\]](#hub-data-note-net-price)** $33,102 **Median student debt[\[4\]](#hub-data-note-student-debt)** $27,000 **Median Parent PLUS debt[\[7\]](#hub-data-note-gps)** $53,192 ## Stevens rankings: how Azimuth assesses value[\[5\]](#hub-data-note-rankings) Stevens Institute of Technology is a private nonprofit university in Hoboken, New Jersey, enrolling 4,222 undergraduates. Its composite standing sits near the top of the Azimuth ranking among nonprofit four-year institutions (68th percentile). The university admits 47.6% of applicants, a rate that is more selective than the 71.2% median for comparable institutions of the same type and size. Among those who start full time, 93.6% return for a second year, against a peer median of 83.4%. 86.9% complete within six years, against a peer median of 68.8%. An estimated 4.4% of entrants arrive as transfers or part-time students, so the first-time full-time cohort describes most of the student body. The four pillars sit far apart. Return is the strongest, at the 96th percentile, and affordability is the weakest, at the 3rd percentile. Mobility and access fall between them, at the 71st and 56th percentiles, creating a shape where a strong earnings outcome coincides with a high net price. Stevens Institute of Technology scores in the top decile for return but near the bottom for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. [Azimuth ranks](/analysis/college-program-rankings-how-to-actually-evaluate-programs/) the university #465 among 1,467 nonprofit four-year institutions, with the return pillar in the 96th percentile and affordability in the 3rd percentile. The mobility pillar lands in the 71st percentile, and access in the 56th percentile. That spread places return in the top decile and affordability in the bottom decile. 20.4% of undergraduates at Stevens Institute of Technology receive Pell Grants. Azimuth ranks the university #640 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. Pell recipients complete at 78.8%, 8.1 percentage points below the rate for the entering cohort as a whole. Azimuth ranks Stevens Institute of Technology #425 for mobility.
