NJIT: The Edge in Knowledge

An NJIT degree gives you an academic and professional edge. NJIT is the state’s only science and technology university and it’s one of the top research universities in the nation.  In addition, the majors and degrees that NJIT offers – engineering and the sciences, the technical aspects of business management, computing and information science – are those most in demand by employers. Students who graduate with these degrees, moreover, receive the highest salaries.  Even in this recession, 125 major employers attended NJIT’s Spring Career Fair.  Students were not only hired, but received job offers whose starting salaries of $70,000 to $80,000 are among the highest in the nation.   

Rankings and Recognition

The Princeton Review named NJIT among the nation’s top 50 public undergraduate institutions for value for 2009.  NJIT was included in the select listing because it has long been known for affordability nationally and in the region.
