Online Master's Degrees
Since then, NJIT has continued to lead the nation in online learning – both in terms of the technologies used to support online classes and the most effective ways to teach online.
You should know also that NJIT is a nationally ranked research university. For three consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report’s 2009 Annual Guide to America’s Best Colleges named NJIT a top-tier research university. Many online classes are taught by professors who also conduct research. And having research professors as your teachers your class assures that you’ll be taught the most advanced and vital subject matter in your field.
NJIT’s online programs are also student centered. Optimally online classes become virtual-learning communities, in which students interact and learn from each other, and their professors, more than they ever could in face-to-face classes. Perhaps that’s why so many students who study online at NJIT have such high praise for its programs.
Know too, that for a top-ranked university, NJIT offers affordable tuition. This year, the Princeton Review named NJIT one of the nation’s Best Value Colleges. And this spring NJIT is introducing an online tuition rate that will help you save on tuition. So if you considering an online master’s program or a certificate, know that an NJIT degree will give you the skills you’ll need to work successfully in the 21st century global marketplace.
