First-year students applying to New Jersey Institute of Technology for entry in the Fall of 2021 and Spring of 2022 can choose to not submit SAT or ACT scores. This does not apply to Albert Dorman Honors College or accelerated program applicants.

“NJIT is committed to the highest standards in education, and our admissions staff members take a holistic approach in examining all components of an application including rigor of academic coursework, grades, letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities,” said Fadi P. Deek, provost and senior executive vice president.

Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology in collaboration with Ohio University and Merck & Co. Inc. recently developed a new efficient method for targeted protein analysis — one they say could speed up processes for disease testing, drug discovery and vaccine development.

Chemistry student and Albert Dorman Honors Scholar Mary McGuinness will graduate this semester and will continue her academic career as a master's student at University of Connecticut studying oceanography. Congratulations, Mary!

Kamalika Sandell has been appointed as NJIT’s vice provost and chief information officer, effective July 27, Provost Fadi Deek announced in an email to the campus community.

Sandell, previously deputy CIO at American University, replaces interim CIO Gregg Chottiner.

Each spring around Commencement, NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts holds its very own celebration, awarding its standout student and faculty stars from across the college’s diverse academic spectrum of art, history and humanities to physics, biology and chemistry.

Through the university’s partnership with Strive for College, an online college mentoring platform, NJIT students are invited to participate in a free pilot program over the next year aimed at helping them complete their courses, earn a degree and prepare for living-wage careers after college.

As a kid growing up in Omaha, Neb., Chloe Jelley ’20 had a major aversion to insects that many can relate with.

“I was one of the more careful kids and I was not into bugs at all when I was young … actually, I was really afraid of all bugs,” recalled Jelley.

“It’s a little bittersweet to have to leave without being able to say proper goodbyes to everyone,” lamented Sravya Vegunta, a senior Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) scholar, about graduating from NJIT during the coronavirus pandemic.

“But I’m definitely glad to be moving on to that next stage, because it’s something that I’ve been looking forward to for so long,” she added, speaking from her Monroe Township home where she is staying inside with her parents and younger brother.

Biochemistry senior Alejandra Lopez-Diaz hasn’t wasted much time during her past three years at NJIT. Outside of class, she’s spent most of her free hours inside the university’s labs researching an aspect of time itself — our circadian clock, or the internal biological clock that helps takes us through various phases of the day from morning to night.

It isn't an easy balance between working and going to school — especially for students determined to excel in the challenging studies they take on at NJIT.  

But even considering the double-life that many students endure to help pay their way while earning their coveted degree, Darius Singletary has gone beyond the call of duty in his five years at NJIT.
