Current and future MBA students are in for good news at NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management, with the degree requirements being shortened from 48 credits to 36, and with an even stronger emphasis on their forward-looking, technology-focused curriculum.

Student entrepreneurs at NJIT's annual New Business Model Competition had one word for the experienced judges this week: plastics.

It's the opposite of the revered 1967 film The Graduate, where a young Dustin Hoffman receives that single word of career advice from an accomplished friend of his parents. But it holds true, as plastics technology was a common theme to the student winners, all born decades after the movie debuted.
