On-campus format of more than a hundred programs is available for students. Aside from students' preference, the traditional classroom setting may be more advantageous for programs that are more into practical and experiential learning such as Engineering programs and other applied science programs where laboratory time is essential, performing arts, etc.

Some of these programs are focused in industries of business, management, marketing, IT, and other computing programs. Learn more about NJIT's online learning programs.
