Named after the Stevens family, who were known as “America’s First Family of Inventors,” the college opened in 1870 after Edwin A. Stevens left money for its establishment in his will.

Notable alumni include filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, YouTube star Marques Brownlee, mechanical engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor, businessman Sandeep Lakhmi Mathrani, U.S. Representative Greg Gianforte and engineer Beatrice Hicks. The school’s colors are gray and Stevens red, and its mascot is Attila the Duck. Its sports affiliations are Division III – Empire 8, ECAC and MAISA.
