Why NOT NJIT@JerseyCity?

NJIT@JerseyCity’s flagship offerings are full five-semester part-time MS graduate programs and two-semester graduate certificate programs.

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.

Each academic course bears 3 credits, taught over a 15-week semester at a single weekly session of 3 hours (typically 6pm-9pm).
