The School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE)

The School of Systems and Enterprises (SSE) at Stevens Institute of Technology hosts one of the largest and highest ranked Systems Engineering programs in the United States and the World. With the award of the highly competitive Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) by the U.S. Federal government, SSE is also engaging in forefront research on fundamental research in complex systems and enterprises. The Engineering Management program at SSE has ranked in the top 3 nationwide for the past couple of years.

Financial Aid and Graduate Assistantships

Students usually cover their tuition, fees and living expenses through Federal loans (for U.S. citizens and permanent residents), private loans, employer tuition support programs, scholarships from their governments or organizations and family sources.

The GMIS program offers a limited number of graduate research assistantships reserved for students with outstanding academic credentials who intend to pursue the Ph.D. program in Enterprise Systems/Infrastructure Management, Policy and Governance. Competitive scores on the GRE and an outstanding record of prior studies is a prerequisite for graduate assistantships.
