About New Jersey Institute of Technology
Founded in 1881 as Newark Technical School and renamed as New Jersey Institute of Technology in 1975, NJIT is one of the nation’s leading public polytechnic universities. New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) prepares students to be leaders in the technology-dependent economy of the 21st century. The university’s multidisciplinary curriculum and computing-intensive approach to education provide the technological proficiency, business know-how, and leadership skills that future CEOs and entrepreneurs will need to succeed. With an enrollment of over 11,500 undergraduate and graduate students, NJIT offers small-campus intimacy with the resources of a major public research university.
NJIT offers more than 125 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in six specialized schools instructed by expert faculty, 98 percent of whom hold the highest degree in their field. NJIT’s academic programs are fully accredited by the appropriate accrediting boards, commissions and associations such as Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA), Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
As New Jersey’s science, technology and design university, New Jersey Institute of Technology has earned a solid reputation as one of the nation’s preeminent STEM-based educational and research institutions. The university is consistently ranked among the highest in the country in return-on-investment (ROI) for its graduates and ranks among the top U.S. polytechnic universities in terms of research expenditures. NJIT’s impact on the State of New Jersey exceeds $2.8 billion in total economic output each year, supporting more than 11,000 jobs and generating employment income of $560 million.
