Top Ranked Programs
New Jersey Institute of Technology's program mix is anchored in Engineering, with substantial depth across computing, business, and applied-technology fields. Engineering accounts for 40% of degree output, Business represents 5%, and Arts adds 1% — a concentration that reflects the institution's identity as a public research university built around STEM and professional disciplines. Across 26 programs serving roughly 1,855 students annually, 15 meet Azimuth's ranking threshold, and the strongest earnings outcomes cluster in engineering subfields and computing. Artificial Intelligence is the program that combines the largest cohort scale with strong earnings, making it a central driver of the institution's overall return profile. The Artificial Intelligence program graduates 458 students annually with median earnings of $97,926 four years after enrollment, and Azimuth ranks the program #26 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. Mechanical Engineering (225 graduates, $89,827) and Civil Engineering (195 graduates, $87,389) round out the largest programs. Among the highest-earning fields, Azimuth ranks Artificial Intelligence #26 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 458 graduates earning $97,926, and Azimuth ranks Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering #87 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning $97,718. Chemical Engineering adds further depth at $97,371 in median earnings, ranked #50 by Azimuth for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions. The engineering and computing programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology are predominantly high-mobility pathways where graduates enter the workforce directly and four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes — a pattern consistent with strong employer demand in the greater Newark and New York metro corridor. Fields like Engineering Technologies/Technicians and Business Administration, with cohorts of 195 and 94 respectively, serve students in applied disciplines where [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) remains favorable.
