NJIT is pioneering a safer, more secure campus infrastructure through a partnership with Splunk, a leader in enterprise security, and TekStream Solutions, experts in digital transformation. Together, they are strengthening vital internal campus systems and creating a model for other colleges and universities — all while students are provided with real-world, experiential learning.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) earned the second-highest rating in Money’s 2025 list of the best universities in the U.S.

At 4 ½ stars, NJIT is tied for the highest rated public institution and trails only Princeton University in New Jersey. NJIT is also featured in Money’s national list of the Best Public Colleges.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has strengthened its position in online education, with three online graduate programs now ranking in U.S. News & World Report's Top 100 for 2025, up from two last year.

Notably, NJIT's online master's in business (non-MBA) program jumped 35 places to No. 74 in the latest national rankings, released this week by U.S. News & World Report.

Alumni from NJIT are impressing Mike Reagan, who leads 250 people for the New York/New Jersey region of international technology consultancy CGI Inc., because the Highlanders among them stand out for backing up solid training with invaluable soft skills.

“They have risen to be the cream of the crop,” said Reagan, senior vice president, who’s an electrical engineer and transitioned into management. “What I do not hire is someone with a resume of 4.0 and nothing else. Give me the 3.2 who was part of a couple of clubs, involved in student government and has a personality.”

New Jersey Institute of Technology has a new Extended Reality (XR) Laboratory on campus, where students and faculty can learn to use augmented- and virtual-reality as a learning and teaching tool.

The lab is now open in Guttenberg Information Technologies Center, room 1402, across from the NJIT makerspace. It’s operated by the digital learning office and complements Ying Wu College of Computing’s MIXR Lab, where researchers study XR itself, on the third floor of the same building.

Can learning your periodic tables in chemistry class actually be fun? Kantida Nanon, a Ph.D. candidate, thinks her augmented reality (AR) solution may provide the eureka moment that every science teacher seeking to better engage students has sought for decades.

New Jersey Institute of Technology continues to be recognized nationally by U.S. News & World Report for its online master’s offerings in information technology, engineering and business.

For 2024, NJIT earned two rankings inside the top 100: No. 31 for its online master’s in information technology and No. 61 for its online master’s in engineering. In addition, the university saw two other online programs make lists for the best in the U.S.: its master’s in business and its MBA.

A record number of students and alumni attended New Jersey Institute of Technology’s latest Career Fair — 3,300 — with some 240 companies looking to fill more than 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences.

The macro numbers were impressive — for the third straight fair — but it was smaller moments that students appreciated most, such as the opportunity to talk one-on-one with representatives of companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Mars and Campbell Soup. 

Economic mobility was a new factor in Niche ranking New Jersey Institute of Technology No. 45 among all U.S. institutions for “Best Value,” reaffirming the university’s return on investment to its students and alumni. NJIT earned the No. 1 spot for “Best Value” among New Jersey public institutions.

Niche, a college ranking and review platform, evaluated 4,048 public and private four-year colleges nationwide and developed separate lists for the best academics, value, food, dorms and college life.
