It takes a proven pioneer in innovation and advancement to take learning to the next level.
Founded in 1881, NJIT is a major public technological university with 100 degree programs that prepare students to be leaders in our fast-moving, technology-dependent economy. For more than 50 years NJIT has provided full-time working adults with flexible opportunities to pursue higher education through its Division of Continuing Professional Education.
We offer advanced degrees, graduate certificates, and professional development programs. While not all of NJIT’s degree programs are available through CPE, the ones that are were hand-picked from hot, high-growth, and highly employable fields.
We've always had the edge in eLearning. Our research in the field began back in the 1980s when NJIT researchers coined and registered the phrase “Virtual Classroom®.” Since then, NJIT has been known around the world for expert online learning:
