Degree requirements remain the same regardless of course format or student status.
Courses at NJIT are offered in various formats: online, on-campus (traditional classroom) and hybrid (part online and part on-campus). All formats for a courses have similar content, rigor and quality. Course activities may be adjusted to best fit the format's opportunities.
Any student may take courses in any format. (International students in the United States may be limited to a certain number of online courses in any semester.)
Specific courses may not be offered online, or be offered online with varying frequency. Thus completing a degree online may have limitations. We recommend you consult with the BS Advisor or MS Advisor to plan an optimal schedule.
Notes:
Most online courses are offered anywhere + anytime. A few are anywhere + same time (or “synchronous”). These synchronous courses use an internet connection for video and audio communication among the instructor and all class members.
Co-op: A co-op can be done entirely online, with the BS or MS Advisor's permission.
