With computing playing an ever-increasing role in how companies operate, and the high demand for skilled computing professionals, people with no previous college or work experience in computing are applying to Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) to pursue graduate degree in one of the college’s M.S. programs.

Thanks to its several graduate certificate programs, YWCC students new to academic coursework in computing are able to acquire the core skills and experience that they will need to be successful in their chosen M.S. degree program.

Ying Wu College of Computing at its NJIT @JerseyCity location will offer new master's degrees in information systems and business information systems this fall, to meet demand from local technology professionals for graduate-level education.

The new degrees will bring the number of master’s programs offered at NJIT @JerseyCity to five. The location also offers five graduate certificate programs.
