Since the university's founding in 1870, technological innovation has been the hallmark of Stevens' educational and research programs. Stevens comprises four schools: the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science; the School of Systems and Enterprises; the College of Arts and Letters; and the School of Business. Across these four schools, more than 6,800 undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with over 380 full-time and part-time faculty members in an interdisciplinary, student-centric, entrepreneurial environment to advance the frontiers of science and leverage technology to confront global challenges. Stevens is home to three national research centers of excellence, as well as to joint research programs focused on critical industries such as healthcare, energy, finance, defense and security, STEM education, and coastal sustainability. Stevens is in the midst of implementing a 10-year strategic plan entitled The Future. Ours to Create., which is designed to further develop Stevens into a forward-looking and far-reaching institution with global impact. National attention to the outstanding quality and outcomes of a Stevens education continues to grow, and Stevens is consistently ranked as one of the nation's top universities for return on investment for students, career services programs, and mid-career salaries of alumni.

Reporting to the President and acting as the second highest administrative leader at the Institute, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs serves as Stevens' chief academic officer. S/he is responsible for the academic integrity of the institution, for all programs and administrative offices related to the academic enterprise, and—in consultation with faculty, officers, and trustees—for long-range academic strategic planning and new initiatives. The Provost leads, in consultation with the Deans of the schools and the leaders of numerous centers, programs, and institutes, cross-disciplinary activities and improvements and innovations in teaching and research.
