Step 3: Apply for Admissions

For Master’s Degrees

The online programs follow the same procedures and deadlines as on-campus programs.  You can apply online by visiting http://adultlearner.njit.edu/admissions/ . If you missed the deadline and you are set on earning a master’s degree, you can still start as a non-matriculated or non-degree student.  Once you are accepted for degree candidacy, the credits you earn in this category, simply get carried over to your degree work.  For the non-matriculated admissions form, visit http://adultlearner.njit.edu/admissions/

For Graduate Certificates

Applications for graduate certificates are accepted year-round.   Completed applications must be received no later than 7 days prior to the start of a semester.  Graduate certificate candidacy is straightforward and rapid and largely based on documentation of students having earned satisfactory undergraduate grade-point averages.  Students who have a master’s or higher degree already and simply want to learn the new knowledge in these credentials can be accepted even faster.  Some students choose to earn 2 credentials—the certificate and the master’s basically for the price of one.   However, if you want both credentials, you need to start with the certificate and then proceed to the master’s.
