New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has climbed to No. 80 — its highest-ever placement — in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report Best National Universities rankings, continuing its steady ascent among the nation’s leading institutions.

The new placement marks a four-spot rise from last year and a 23-place improvement over the past five years, underscoring NJIT’s growing national reputation for academic excellence, innovation, student success and affordability.

More than 3,300 students and alumni filled the Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center and Naimoli Tennis Center on Sept. 17 for NJIT’s Fall 2025 Career Fair, one of the largest STEM-focused career fairs in the region. Nearly 240 organizations — spanning engineering, computing, architecture, life sciences, management and public service — were on hand to recruit for internships, co-ops, and entry-level roles.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has announced the launch of an innovative fan sentiment and analysis platform that will capture and evaluate real-time reactions from fans throughout the year leading up to the FIFA World Cup 2026™. Built to support regional stakeholders with actionable insights, the platform reinforces NJIT's role as a leader in data-driven innovation. The platform will provide insights into how fans experience the world’s biggest sporting event, measuring the impact of the tournament across the region.

Melissa De Cunto and Nalan Kus, both seniors in NJIT’s Martin Tuchman School of Management, are recipients of this year's New Jersey Business & Industry Association’s Rising Star Award.

“NJBIA’s Rising Star Awards honor students who have demonstrated a passion for their career path, academic success and a commitment to their communities during their undergraduate careers,” association CEO Michele Siekerka stated.

Most people finish college and then look for full-time employment or enroll in graduate school, but Don Bonifacio did both and is constantly challenging himself to learn new things.

Bonifacio graduated in May from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a B.S. in computer engineering and was a member of Albert Dorman Honors College. He now works at Verizon planning behind-the-scenes engineering for their fiber optic network and is simultaneously continuing in the NJIT computer engineering department this fall for a master’s degree in his field.

A cornerstone of NJIT’s annual Homecoming Weekend, the Alumni Achievement Awards recognize alumni whose professional and personal achievements stand as a testament to the values instilled at the university. These awards honor individuals for their exceptional accomplishments in fields ranging from technology and finance to community service and entrepreneurship — contributions that bring distinction to NJIT while advancing society in meaningful ways.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) earned the second-highest rating in Money’s 2025 list of the best universities in the U.S.

At 4 ½ stars, NJIT is tied for the highest rated public institution and trails only Princeton University in New Jersey. NJIT is also featured in Money’s national list of the Best Public Colleges.

The Princeton Review continues to recognize New Jersey Institute of Technology as one of the best universities in the U.S.

NJIT is featured in this year’s edition of the educational services company’s guide, The Best 391 Colleges. Just 15% of all four-year colleges and universities made the guide, which NJIT has been in since its inception in 1992. The selections are listed alphabetically.

Oya Tukel leads the Martin Tuchman School of Management at New Jersey Institute of Technology like a business — and a scrappy, entrepreneurial one at that.

“We’re nimble and flexible with a simple organizational structure. We’re very flat. We share the work. Also, faculty has flexibility to teach in different areas,” said Tukel, now beginning her seventh year as dean of MTSM. 

For the fifth straight year, New Jersey Institute of Technology is a Top 50 Best Value College in The Princeton Review’s annual ranking of public institutions.
