Stevens Institute of Technology's expertise is in interdisciplinary study. It has 11 core research areas, including business and finance, data science, energy and environment, and resiliency and sustainability. It's no surprise, then, that the institute attracts a high-achieving cadre of about 3,400 undergraduate students, many of them from out of state, and offers a low student-faculty ratio. Stevens has about three dozen majors and a host of special programs, including accelerated medicine and law tracks, the Pinnacle Scholars Program and a technical enrichment program for students from diverse backgrounds. There are also over 100 groups targeted at students, including the Anime Critics Union, the Stevens Chess Club, and the Midnight Movie Movement. Don't forget athletics: Stevens has 26 Division III teams, plus intramural and club sports. Want to get off campus? Head into Hoboken, also called the Mile Square City, where you can check out grassy green lawns on the river, browse art galleries, or stop by Carlo's Bakery, the store made famous on the TV show "Cake Boss."
