Why NJIT@JerseyCity?

NJIT@JerseyCity brings the best of Ying Wu College of Computing to the foot of one of the burgeoning global epicenters for next-phase technology – New York City. The facility is located just across from the Exchange Place PATH and Light Rail and easily accessible to commuters.

Classes are taught by top faculty who have been hand-picked to offer an unrivaled, practical education that is immediately transferrable to industry across the Hudson River and throughout the region. Add to this, state-of-the art executive-style classrooms overlooking the NYC skyline, a truly flexible schedule, and an affordable tuition which is discounted at 20% below the in-state rate (excludes international students), and the question is: Why NOT NJIT@JerseyCity?

NJIT@JerseyCity’s flagship offerings are full five-semester part-time MS programs in Business and Information Systems, Computer Science, Cybersecurity & Privacy, Data Science and Information Systems. In addition, NJIT@JerseyCity offers two-semester graduate Certificate programs in Big Data Essentials, Computer Science, Data Mining, Data Visualization and Foundations of Cybersecurity.

The programs are designed so that qualified holders of a Certificate can “upgrade” their education by continuing to the MS program, while receiving full credit for their Certificate coursework. This sequence is a gateway to beginning a new career when transitioning from outside the field of computing.

All programs are part-time, designed for the convenience of working professionals looking to expand their expertise and enhance their career options. Each academic course bears 3 credits, taught over a 15-week semester at a single weekly session of 3 hours (typically 6pm-9pm).
