Stevens Institute of Technology’s School of Business is recognized by two of the world’s leading professional organizations in finance and risk management—the CFA Institute and the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP)—for its commitment to academic rigor and industry relevance.
Through its long-standing participation in the CFA University Affiliation Program, the Stevens Master’s in Finance curriculum covers more than 70% of the CFA Program’s Candidate Body of Knowledge. This alignment ensures that students gain the analytical, ethical, and practical foundation essential to success in investment management. As part of this affiliation, Stevens students are also eligible to apply for CFA exam scholarships, providing valuable support as they pursue the globally respected Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

Together, these partnerships demonstrate Stevens’ ongoing commitment to equipping students with the skills, ethical grounding, and global perspective necessary to excel in the complex and rapidly evolving world of finance.
