The Otto H. York Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology creates an engaging space for students to carry out extensive studies in the areas :
Advanced Materials
Biotechnology
Environment
Energy and Nanotechnology
This is made effective through the department’s two research centers. The Department offers BS, MS, and Ph.D. programs.
The MS in Chemical Engineering requires a minimum of thirty credit hours wherein students must receive a GPA of up to 3.0 in core courses and an overall CGPA of 3.0.
It is divided into three choices:
Coursework
Research-based support
Master’s thesis
The core courses include :
Thermodynamics
Kinetics of Reactions and Reactor Design
Mathematical Methods in Chemical Engineering with a varying number of open electives in the areas of Engineering, Science, or Mathematics
any area of research at the student’s discretion depending upon the three options. Those pursuing Research-based support and Master’s thesis must consult with three faculty members and receive their signatures with regards to their thesis topic and preference of advisor on the form given by the department. MS in Materials Science and Engineering is a thirty credit hours course along with electives with the thesis being optional.
MS in Pharmaceutical Engineering is a thirty-hour course which requires the student to retain a CGPA of 3.0 throughout the duration of their course. It is mandatory for full-time students to complete a Master’s thesis, while part-time students are encouraged to pursue it. The course consists of five common core courses as well as fifteen credits of open electives.
Areas of Expertise:
Environmental systems: processes and treatment
Polymers and biomaterials
Reactive and energetic materials and combustion
Particles technology and engineered particulates
Micro and nano-fluidics
Catalysts and catalysis
Membrane science, engineering, and technology

The John A. Reif, Jr. Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at NJIT boasts of an all-round development program by offering BS, MS, and Ph.D. programs in the multiple disciplines of civil engineering and environmental engineering. The mission of the department is to provide an in-depth study of the forms and structures of technology and sustainability.
MS in Civil Engineering is a thirty credit hours course that can be qualified through two ways, i.e., campus or online for those who are interested in academics while being employed. MS in Environmental Engineering aims at preparing students to work closely with the faculty to seek new ways to research on and resolve environmental challenges through science.
The core courses include :
Physical Processes in Environmental Systems
Environmental Microbiology
Water Chemistry
The students are required to complete a total of six electives in two sections of Concentration in Water Quality, Treatment and Infrastructure and Concentration in Integrated Site Remediation, three from each.
The course also offers a bridge program and a wide option of career prospects. MS in Critical Infrastructure Systems understands the essential need for producing reliable infrastructure that is resilient to calamity and various hazards thereby giving rise to graduates who excel not only in innovation but also prevention and detection.
Some of the core courses are :
Critical Infrastructure I: Performance and Risk Analysis of Infrastructure Systems
Critical Infrastructure II: Security Management of Critical Infrastructure, Management Science and Elements of Infrastructure Planning
The central goal of MS in Transportation is to instruct students to be proficient in the individual elements associated with transportation such as system management, design, operation and construction.
Areas of Expertise:
High-performance construction materials
Environmental nanotechnology
Remote sensing/geographical information systems
Resilient infrastructure systems
Water resources
Geoenvironmental issues
Sustainable environmental systems
Structural testing and rehabilitation
Transportation
Water quality and treatment
Hydraulics

Helen and John C. Hartmann Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NJIT encourages the students to step outside theoretical framework and engage with the challenges that exist and are emerging in the 21st century. The department takes pride in its metropolitan location which provides easy access to students in terms of internships and special projects in leading laboratories and research centres in and around the New York City-New Jersey area.
It offers BS, MS and PhD programs in Electrical and Computer Engineering along with a handful of fellowships and projects for undergraduate and PhD students. MS in Computer Engineering is a thirty credit hours course out of which twenty-one or more should be from courses in ECE. The requirements for the completion of the degree includes two computer engineering core courses, a minimum of two courses from one of the five areas of specialization and some extra courses.
The student must attain a CGPA of 3.0 excluding the thesis or project. It is optional to undertake Master's Project or Master's Thesis. There are also bridge courses for students applying from undergraduate disciplines other than computer engineering.
MS in Electrical Engineering has four-track courses, namely:
Communication
Signal Processing and Microwave Track
Computer Networking Track
Computer Architecture and Systems Track
Electronic and Photonic Devices Track
Intelligent Systems Track out of which students are required to choose two core courses and two-track courses. It also gives the option of acquiring the program degree online, however, the curriculum differs from that of the campus-based. MS in Internet Engineering is a thirty credit hours course with nine hours for core courses and twenty-one for electives.MS in Telecommunications requires a minimum of thirty credit hours of coursework and a GPA of 3.0 in four core courses for graduation.
M.S. in Power and Energy Systems has two core courses, two concentration area requirements and three to five electives that should be chosen out of the pool by the students. A thesis or a project is optional alongside the coursework, and certain bridge courses may also be necessary for students applying from different academic backgrounds.
Areas of Expertise:
Computer networking
Communications and signal processing
