New Jersey Institute of Technology once again finds itself in selective company in The Princeton Review’s annual guide to the best colleges and universities in the United States.

Just 14% of all of the country’s four-year institutions made the guide, “The Best 389 Colleges for 2024.” Selection is based primarily on the experiences of students — which are culled through surveys — and the featured schools are listed alphabetically. 

Throughout the year, New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Career Development Services welcomed more than 500 different employers in various partnership capacities. A handful of these industry and community partners, as well as exceptional students, went above and beyond and were awarded in the office’s flagship spring ceremony.

New Jersey Institute of Technology maintains its national reputation for return on investment and career placement in 2023 rankings from The Princeton Review.

Among public schools, The Princeton Review ranked NJIT No. 11 on its list of the Top 20 for Best Career Placement and No. 35 on its list of the Top 50 Best Value Colleges. 

NJIT’s Career Development Services hosted its marquee event, again besting attendance and participation numbers over its previous career fair. Taking a page out of the logistics-improvement playbook of participating companies like UPS, Johnson & Johnson, Raytheon and others, CDS implemented changes to improve candidate and employer efficiency and experience.

NJIT’s spring career fair is coming up and registration is now open for students on the Handshake platform.

NJIT’s fall Career Fair — its first in-person fair since the onset of the pandemic — set dual records for attendance, with more than 2,500 students and 233 companies participating.

NJIT students have found excellent work in co-ops and internships this summer. It is a great way to gain real-world experience in their field of study, and to network with professionals in their chosen field. And, of course, the added benefit of earning money to help pay for tuition and other expenses.

Charis Hwang packed a lot into her four years studying business at New Jersey Institute of Technology, including three internships and a cooperative educational experience.

That thick undergraduate resumé may explain why even before completing an accelerated master’s program, she landed a job with global consulting firm PwC. In fact, her last internship, during the summer of 2021, was at PwC, where she found a calling.

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s next career fair will connect students with more than 165 employers offering some 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative educational experiences.
