Princeton Review Gives NJIT High Marks for Value and Career Placement
New Jersey Institute of Technology maintains its national reputation for return on investment and career placement in 2023 rankings from The Princeton Review.
Among public schools, The Princeton Review ranked NJIT No. 11 on its list of the Top 20 for Best Career Placement and No. 35 on its list of the Top 50 Best Value Colleges.
Also, for the sixth straight year, NJIT is featured on The Princeton Review’s master list of Best Value Colleges, a select group of 209 culled from a survey of more than 650 colleges and universities in the U.S. The honorees include 135 private schools and just 74 public schools.
“The schools we chose are those that earned our highest return on investment ratings in this year’s analysis,” explained Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “We tallied the ROI ratings based on more than 40 data points that covered academics, affordability and career preparation.”
ROI is part of NJIT’s DNA, as faculty, alumni and the university’s Career Development Services (CDS) introduce students to hands-on, real-world opportunities — such as internships and cooperative educational experiences — that prime them for rewarding jobs. CDS’ biannual career fair routinely attracts thousands of students and hundreds of employers.
In addition, many academic programs are developed with input from industry leaders, ensuring that students gain skills and knowledge that are in high demand in today's job market. What’s more, new degrees — like graduate programs in artificial intelligence — are added to meet the needs of employers in high-growth industries.
