Academics
One of the things that really sets the New Jersey Institute of Technology, or NJIT, apart from other schools is its emphasis on understanding how technology and science intersect within the business sector. The school promotes the notion that business is not a 鈥渟eparate entity鈥 from technology and that the two are more intertwined than ever. A great number of students say they chose to attend NJIT for their MBA so that they, having received a degree in an area such as Technology Management, could be 鈥渦nique鈥 among their colleagues in the business sector. The school also boasts an impressive Executive MBA, or EMBA, program and most classes take place on weekends or Fridays allowing the 鈥渇lexibility [they] require to work and obtain an MBA at the same time.鈥 The EMBA takes it鈥檚 philosophy of 鈥渞elevance, practicality, and innovation鈥 to heart and this 鈥渢he curriculum is geared towards the job market.鈥 The program focuses on knowledge that can be directly applied in the workplace, which many of the students find not only helpful, but also 鈥渧ery interesting.鈥 This focus on practical knowledge is refreshing, and most students say that it鈥檚 a 鈥渕ore valuable emphasis鈥 than if the school were only 鈥渇ocused on finance鈥 or other areas of a similar ilk. There are also online courses, in addition to weekend courses, for those that may still have trouble getting to and from each class.
The school has also built up quite a 鈥渟trong reputation in the Northeast region.鈥 With its AACSB accreditation for both its graduate and undergraduate programs, and the fact that the MBA program costs 鈥渃onsiderably less than other programs鈥 of its kind, it is no wonder that so many students are singing its praise.
The classes at the NJIT School of Management tend to be 鈥渧ery small,鈥 which is fine for most students as they find the faculty to be 鈥渆xcellent.鈥 The school has thirty faculty members and approximately 700 students. While there are, of course, issues with the occasional professor, such as prolonged responses 鈥渢o emails or requests for office hours,鈥 most of the professors are said to be 鈥渧ery accessible and willing to help,鈥 and they come to the classroom with 鈥済ood field experience [from] corporate America.鈥
