Stevens ranks No. 2 in the nation for gender equity in earnings among graduates, with women graduates out-earning Stevens men by 1.6 percent according to data reported by Forbes. The ranking was based on an analysis of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard resource.

Stevens added 30 new faculty members for the 2018-19 academic year, drawn from such institutions as MIT, Princeton, Harvard and Amazon. The group represents the largest number of faculty to join the university in a single academic year in Stevens history.

Last summer, more than 120 Stevens undergraduates studied abroad — a 25 percent increase in participation over the previous summer — with many choosing to focus on research in fields ranging from quantum computing and artificial intelligence to renewable energy and robotics.

The Class of 2022 is Stevens' largest ever, 33 percent larger than the class entering in fall 2017. The number of students from underserved communities enrolled in the first-year class also increased significantly from 2017 to 2018, by 43 percent, making this class the most diverse in the university's history.
