First Semester Course Guide
As a first-semester student, it’s good to start with core courses tailored to your major—they provide a solid foundation in the key concepts, tools, and skills you'll build on throughout your studies.
By focusing on major-specific coursework early, you'll gain a clear understanding of your field and be better prepared for advanced topics in future terms. You should talk with your advisor but generally speaking, any of the core courses could work for your first semester at NJIT.
