Albert dorman honors college adhc
These 4 Honors Freshmen Span the Country
This year’s Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) freshman class has already set records. The group is 43 percent female, includes 13 New Jersey Medical School students and boasts an average SAT score of 1475.
Aside from these fantastic figures, the incoming class is noteworthy for its geography. A sizable number of students are coming to NJIT from outside New Jersey, some from as far away as California.
Let’s meet a few of ADHC’s newest out-of-state students.

Distinctive Education Drives Diverse Experiences in New Honors Program
“Providing Dorman Scholars with unique educational opportunities has always been our mission,” noted Professor Louis Hamilton, dean of NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC). “And the scholars we admit to the college are highly capable and motivated young people who crave challenges and hands-on learning experiences.”
Silver Star Status Awarded to NJIT's National Society of Collegiate Scholars Chapter
The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), the only honor society to recognize outstanding academic achievement among first- and second-year college students, has designated the chapter at NJIT as a Silver Star Chapter for the 2017-2018 academic year. The acknowledgement distinguishes the chapter among the more than 320 NSCS chapters throughout the country, and stems from its leadership in implementing engaging, student-centered events both on campus and in the community.
