Department Mission & Goals
The overall mission of the Stevens Institute of Technology Department of Physical Education, Athletics and Recreation is to enhance the healthy lifestyles of all members of the Stevens community through providing programs, facilities and training that promote physical fitness, competition and life-skill development.

Accordingly, the Department has identified three core goals. They are:
