I'm currently an EMTM grad student at Stevens. Yes, there are better schools like MIT and Penn etc. However, Stevens is not a second tier school by any stretch of the imagination. They are highly recognized and respected by employers in the NY/NJ area. They are less known outside of this area but this shouldn't discourage anyone who wants an excellent and well rounded technical education. So far my EMTM experience is great - challenging and rewarding.

The instructors for online courses will post assignments late, sometimes weeks after the assignments were to be collected. Homeworks are graded months after they are turned in. Professors and advisors do not return calls or emails. PhD Students: You will most likely be handed off to some big-name and important PhD'er to assist with the authoring of your thesis. Said big-namer will be too busy to return calls, to review your drafts, or to provide input and / or suggestions to get you started.

The financial aid office will mess up your financial aid package, which includes returning federal student loans against your wishes, not mailing out loan refund checks, and billing you for courses you took over 8 months ago.

There are much cheaper and better schools out there. I would strongly advise against Stevens.

Disclaimer: I did my master with their webct ONLINE program. I have no idea what their campus even look like so your experience with a real oncampus program may vary.

In my opinion, most of their professors in the online program are there to make extra money and don't really care about teaching. Recylcing of exam and course material is rampant. This one professor reuse the syllabus and other course material from another professor and forgot to change the name. There is also this other professor who use the same homework and exam every term. I also get the feeling that most of the students just want to get their degree and move on. Teaching and learning really isn't happening in the online program. In addition, the school's administrative people is EXTREMELY unhelpful to online student. That's being said, there are some professors that are dedicated to teaching and you do take something out of their classes. In my 12-course program, I would say about 4 courses or 33% fall into the professor do give a damn category.

Stevens is a small school right near Hoboken with a huge presence. Stevens’s tech is comparable to MIT, C. Mellon, Caltech and Stanford... Stevens’s majors are highly technical/competitive with a very wide range of classes in which you can choose from. I would recommend this school only to students who want a top (ivy) education and want to be in a highly technical and managerial based career.

Go for it! If you want a great education and a great career, make the right choice!
