NJIT has been named one of the country’s Best Graduate Schools for Business in U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 listing. Only two other universities in New Jersey are ranked in this category.

The university’s Martin Tuchman School of Management (MTSM), focused on business with the power of technology, provides several technology-driven program options to advance learning and careers: a Master of Science in Management, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), an Executive MBA and a variety of graduate certificate programs, including a new certificate in business analytics. The MBA program is offered for full-time study, as well as for part-time study with evening and online classes.

MTSM’s graduate-level courses also feature a Ph.D. in business data science, the first doctoral program of its kind in the United States. Launched in 2016, it integrates “business analytics and management system theory with scientific methods from statistics, computer science and engineering to improve knowledge discovery and decision-making in business and management.”   

U.S. News based its rankings on peer assessments of academic excellence from deans, program directors and senior faculty, along with statistical indicators that measure the quality of a school’s faculty, research and students. For the 2021 rankings, statistical surveys of more than 2,081 graduate programs were conducted, and over 24,603 reputation surveys were sent to academics and professionals in the ranked disciplines.

“I am thrilled about our ranking by one of the most trusted ranking agencies, U.S. News & World Report. This was a hard-earned recognition that involved investing in our curriculum and scholarly work, which has led to greater respect from our peers,” remarked Oya Tukel, MTSM dean. “I believe the key to our success is our relentless effort to integrate technology and experience into our curriculum, and push the boundaries of higher education by preparing students for more technology-driven economies.”
