U.S. News & World Report reviewed 1,500 bachelor's degree-granting institutions on 17 measures of academic quality and instructional resources, which include graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, reputational assessment by peers and guidance counselors, financial resources, alumni giving rate and expert opinion.
NJIT President Teik C. Lim noted that U.S. News & World Report’s findings are evidence of the strength of NJIT’s strategic vision and goals.
“Joining the Top 100 in U.S. News’ National Universities rankings and ranking No. 42 among public colleges is significant and follows on the heels of being named the No. 1 public university in New Jersey and No. 28 in the nation by Forbes,” said NJIT President Teik C. Lim. “What’s most important is that the reason for NJIT’s rise in the rankings and its reputational growth is the success of our students and alumni in their academic and professional career pursuits.”
NJIT routinely places highly in rankings measuring value and return on investment, an ever-increasing consideration among students and parents.
