Further analysis
At Stevens Institute of Technology, the return on a degree depends heavily on the field a student chooses, and Azimuth's program rankings are built to make those differences clear. The rankings evaluate four-year earnings among federally aided completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation.
The university has 11 ranked bachelor's programs, and 12 programs carry published earnings data. The three largest program families by share of bachelor's degrees awarded are Engineering (51.8% of degrees awarded), Computer & Information Sciences (16.4%), and Business (11.2%).
Within those families, Mechanical Engineering is the single largest program, with 159 degrees awarded. Its completers earn a median of $100,554 four years after completion, which places the program #34 nationally in its field and #2 in New Jersey.
Computer Science completers earn a median of $138,468 four years after completion and rank #44 nationally. Business Administration and Management completers earn a median of $108,400 four years after completion, and the program holds a national rank of #19.
Award counts reflect degrees conferred in one academic year, and program earnings cover federally aided completers. The highest-earning program is Applied Mathematics, where completers earn a median of $156,419 four years after completion.
