The Smart Way to Earn a Degree for Professionals
NJIT Weekend University for high tech professionals is a flexible academic program designed for working adults that offers an opportunity to earn a BS in Information Technology (BS IT), a BS in Information Systems (BS WIS), a MS in Engineering Management (MS EM), or a MS in Information Systems (MS IS). While heading back to school as an adult is not easy, the degree program enables adults to take a small step by studying part-time through a combination of classroom and online learning. A 24- credit Undergraduate Certificate or 12- credit Graduate Certificate is the first credential earned in progress towards the full degree. In this way, working adults earn two credentials for the price of one. Certificates available are:
- Essentials of Business Application Design (BS WIS)
- Essentials of Information Security (BS IT)
- Essentials of Information Systems Management (BS IT)
- Essentials of Web Application Development (BS WIS)
- Project Management (MS EM)
- Business and Information Systems Implementation (MS IS)
The program is designed to accommodate the lifestyle of working adults.
All classes are only one-and-a-half hours long, held on Friday evening and Saturdays, and either meets on campus once per week or every other week while study continues throughout the semester. As a result, the flexible study schedule permits students to take more classes per semester and earn a degree faster.
