A new agreement between Hudson County Community College (HCCC) and NJIT will allow for seamless transfer of students into NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management.

The articulation agreement, signed Tuesday, July 27 in HCCC's Culinary Conference Center, allows students who earn an Associate of Science in Business Administration degree at HCCC to transfer into NJIT's Bachelor of Science degree programs in Business, Business Online Accelerated Entrepreneurship, and Financial Technology—FinTech.

Parth Agrawal, a 2021 biomedical engineering graduate and Albert Dorman Honors scholar, was accepted to the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. But he’s not going – right away, at least. He deferred admission for a two-year fellowship with Venture For America, a nonprofit organization that trains recent college graduates to work in startups in cities across the country.

Facebook, Merck, Brown University, the University of Minnesota, Venture for America and the U.S. Air Force are among the destinations of standouts from the Class of 2021 at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Here’s a closer look at seven graduates.

In just three years, Marina Arrese ’21 earned a bachelor’s in business administration at New Jersey Institute of Technology, even while fencing, serving as co-president of the NJIT Investment Fund, working at the campus Financial Analysis Lab and serving on the Dean’s Executive Student Leadership Council. The Madrid native reflected on the chock-full experience and shared her future plans (hint: she’s staying in Newark) in an interview with NJIT.  

After a year layoff, one of NJIT’s standout annual research events returned to the campus community this month — more than 30 of the university’s top student-researchers took to their webcams to present their work for a virtual audience at the 2021 Dana Knox Research Showcase, "A Glimpse Into the Future.”
