B.S/ M.S Dual Degree Programs
This accelerated dual degree program permits undergraduates to earn credits toward a master's degree. Students take 6 credits of graduate course work in their senior year. These may be counted towards both a bachelor's degree and a following master's degree if enrollment as a graduate student in the master's degree program occurs within two years of completion of the bachelor's degree. After enrollment as a graduate student, those who wish to apply the 6 credits to the graduate degree program should contact the Office of Graduate Studies.

Graduate study may be completed full- or part-time.

Full-time undergraduate students become eligible to apply after they complete at least five courses in their major, and have maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better. Students must submit the application for admission to the B.S./M.S. program to the Office of Graduate Studies no later than one year prior to graduation. Applicants must fulfill all university requirements for admission to graduate programs. Some programs will require submittal of GRE or GMAT scores. For all others, these are highly recommended.

Information and applications can be obtained from the Office of Graduate Studies, (973) 596-3462.
Several other combinations of bachelor's and master's degrees exist or are under development. The number of dual-use credits for these combinations may exceed 6 credits in accordance with specific program requirements. An example is the B.Arch./M.S. in Management program, which allows 12 dual-use credits.

M.S./M.S. and Dual Master’s Programs
The M.S./M.S. program allows students to pursue a second NJIT master of science degree on completion of the first and to count two courses (6 credits) from the first degree toward the second. The option must be exercised within two years of completion of the first degree. The approval of the advisors of the two programs is required. The Office of Graduate Studies will direct the registrar on transfer of the two dual-use courses to the second program. The M.S./M.S. program option is not intended for students who have left the doctoral programs without completion of the degree. Up to 6 credits may be transferred to the second master�s degree from outside NJIT. Thesis, project, predoctoral research, independent research and similar courses may not be used.

Several other master�s degree combinations involving the Master of Architecture, the Master in Infrastructure Planning and the M.S. in Management allow dual use of courses from the first degree to the second. The number of dual use credits for these combinations may exceed 6 credits in accordance with specific program arrangements.

Student Exchange/Study Abroad
NJIT offers a number of international exchange opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in Europe and the Far East. Through established exchange agreements, participants are provided with opportunities to enhance their technological skills, expand their cultural horizons, and gain educational experience from an international perspective. Students gain firsthand knowledge of political, social and economic systems of a rapidly changing world.

Students may elect to study for one semester or for a full academic year. NJIT students pay tuition and fees at NJIT and room and board at the host institution. Financial support may be applied to these expenses.

With the prior written approval of the student�s academic advisor, academic credit may be awarded for courses taken while participating in an international exchange program. Some programs may require proficiency in the language of the host country, especially if the language of instruction for course work is not English.
