100% Job Placement for Stevens Institute of Technology Class of ’16
Stevens Institute of Technology’s School of Business recently revealed exciting news about the class of 2016.
In a new press release, the school officially announced that every member of the recently graduated class either landed a job or was accepted into the graduate program of their choice.
Associate Dean Dr. Ann Murphy explains that the school’s immaculate job placement game is no fluke.
“Business programs at Stevens are incredibly practical as a result of the industry input we receive from managers at Fortune 500 companies in New York City. Companies recognize that Stevens students are ready leaders capable of providing analytical insights into the challenges of the future.”
Stevens offers two bachelor’s degrees in business. One hundred percent of students graduating with a B.S. in Business were hired in the field of their choice, at an average salary of $65,800. In the B.S. in Quantitative Finance program, 96 percent were hired, at an average salary of $70,200, with 4 percent accepted to graduate school. The average salary for School of Business graduates for the Class of 2016 is $67,600—an increase of $1,000 over the prior year.
Quantitative Finance program director Dr. George Calhoun added, “Managers recognize that entry-level employees must be able to think critically about business, communicate effectively and leverage technology in solving problems.”
According to the release, one major key to Stevens’ success is the school’s Hoboken, New Jersey campus, which enables Manhattan “recruiters and managers [to] regularly visit Stevens to meet students and deliver guest lectures.”
Stevens’ strategic location actively shapes “its curriculum to meet the demands of companies.” Calhoun says, “Our curriculum is designed to give students the skills they need not only in the jobs they receive after graduation, but to lay the foundation for long-term career success.”
