The Stevens School of Business is the business school of Stevens Institute of Technology, a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. The school offers undergraduate, master's, MBA and doctoral programs in business disciplines with an emphasis on the application of technology, analytics and finance.[1][2]
History
The school was founded in 1997 as the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management, named after Wesley J. Howe, a former chairman of the Stevens board of trustees who endowed its establishment.[1][3] Its early portfolio centred on graduate technology-management degrees.[4]
Gregory Prastacos became dean in 2012 and oversaw a multi-year restructuring of the school's programmes, faculty and curriculum.[5][6] In mid-2015 the school was renamed the Stevens School of Business in connection with its accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which it obtained in the same year. It has been reaccredited twice, in 2020 and again in 2025.[1][7]
Prastacos retired at the end of the 2023–24 academic year and was succeeded as dean on September 1, 2024 by Gert-Jan "GJ" de Vreede, who had previously been interim dean of the Muma College of Business at the University of South Florida.[8]
Academics
The school offers undergraduate majors that include business and technology, finance, quantitative finance and marketing; a range of master's programmes in management, finance, financial engineering, business intelligence and analytics, and information systems; an MBA and an Analytics MBA; and doctoral programmes in business administration.[2][9] All of its undergraduate and graduate business programmes are AACSB-accredited.[7]
In external rankings, the school placed at number 69 in U.S. News & World Report 's 2026 ranking of best part-time MBA programmes in New Jersey,[10] and was listed by U.S. News at number 72 in its 2026 best graduate business schools survey.[11] The school has reported placement in the U.S. News top 100 in five consecutive years through 2025.[7] A 2019 study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce ranked Stevens Institute of Technology 14th in the United States for 40-year return on investment, ahead of several Ivy League institutions.[12]
Research centres
The school operates the Hanlon Financial Systems Center, a financial-technology laboratory funded by Stevens trustee Sean Hanlon and his wife Cathy Hanlon. Times Higher Education has described it as the only facility of its kind in the United States, bringing together academic researchers and industry partners in finance, analytics and information technology.[1] The centre houses two laboratories equipped with Bloomberg Terminals and access to financial data services including Wharton Research Data Services, Refinitiv and CRSP.[13]
In 2021 Stevens, in partnership with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, launched the Center for Research toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT), the first National Science Foundation-funded Industry–University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) dedicated to financial technology, under NSF grants 2113906 (Stevens) and 2113850 (RPI). The Stevens-based centre is led from the School of Business; the Rensselaer site is hosted by the Lally School of Management.[14][15][16]
