New Jersey Institute of Technology

What are the graduation rates for students at New Jersey Institute of Technology?

NJIT's reported six-year graduation rate is 73% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 49%. The difference matters for students budgeting for a four-year degree: finishing within six years is a different outcome from finishing on a four-year schedule.

The reported first-year retention rate is 90%, meaning most students in the measured first-time cohort returned for the following year. Retention and graduation describe different stages of enrollment. Standard federal graduation-rate cohorts also do not represent every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student, so these figures should not be treated as an individual student's probability of completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New Jersey Institute of Technology?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion, not a salary promised by an NJIT degree. The figures vary substantially by field: the reported amount is $70,354 for electrical, electronics, and communications engineering and $63,541 for mechanical engineering. Architecture is reported at $47,564.

These are program-specific measures for graduates whose earnings can be captured in the underlying federal data; they are not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Credential level, employment status, location, further study, and the number of graduates represented can affect comparisons. A prospective student should compare the exact degree and reporting window, and consider internship access, debt, and longer-term career goals alongside a one-year earnings figure.
