NJIT offers 100 degree programs in 27 undergraduate majors and 30 graduate specialties. NJIT is New Jersey's science and technology university. The school opened as the Newark Technical School in 1881 with 88 students. As of 2005, there are 8,058 students of which 1,400 live in one of the school's four dormitories. It is now home to the Newark College of Engineering, New Jersey School of Architecture, School of Management, Albert Dorman Honors College, College of Science and Liberal Arts, and College of Computing Sciences. The current president, Bob A. Altenkirch, was inaugurated on May 2, 2003. He succeeded Saul K. Fenster, who was named the university’s sixth president in 1978. NJIT is one of few Universities to offer extensive courses in Video Game development. The school offers the only NAAB-accredited bachelor's degree in architecture in New Jersey. It offers combined programs in medicine with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and St. George's University in Grenada. The university is known foremost for its research capabilities ranging from the fields of stem cell research to nanotechnology to solar physics and polymer science. The school also specializes in the research of smart gun technology, and has trademarked the term Virtual Classroom and was the first to obtain then retain Yahoo!'s "Most Wired University" award. On December 20, 2006, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine signed a bill to allocate $50 million towards the development of an NJIT-led stem cell research facility in Newark, NJ. NJIT is a participating Internet2 member and held its first Internet2 Day in 2005. Colleges Newark College of Engineering

College of Computing Sciences Research The university is known foremost for its research capabilities in many fields, especially nanotechnology, solar physics, polymer science, and the development of a smart gun technology [citation required]. The university research centers include the National Center for Transportation and Industrial Productivity and SmartCampus. The university hosts the Metro New York FIRST Robotics office. The university also hosts the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research which owns and operates the Big Bear Solar Observatory, the world's largest solar observatory, located in Big Bear Lake, California, and operates the Owens Valley Solar Array, near Bishop, California. In the past, NJIT was home to the Computerized Conferencing and Communications Center, a premier research center for furthering the state of the art in Computer Mediated Communication. The systems that resulted from this research are the Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES), as well as the continuations after that: Electronic Information Exchange System 2 (EIES2) and the Tailorable Electronic Information Exchange System (TEIES). One of the foremost developments of EIES was that of the Virtual Classroom (TM), a term coined by Dr. Starr Roxanne Hiltz. This was the first e-learning platform in the world, and was unique in that it evolved onto an existing communications system, rather than having a system created specifically for it. The CCCC and EIES were shut down in the mid-90s. Ranking U.S. News & World Report’s 2007 Annual Guide to America’s Best Colleges today named NJIT among the nation’s top tier of national research universities offering a range of undergraduate majors and master's and doctoral degrees and 124th overall. Princeton Review’s Best 361 Colleges praises NJIT for great computer facilities, a safe campus, a diverse student body, and small classes. It also calls NJIT "a leader in the field of technology in the tri-state area" and "an intense academic university that allows students to be prepared for the working world." It specifically notes improved university facilities and athletics. The School of Management at NJIT was named an outstanding business school by The Princeton Review. NJIT ranked ninth in the nation for conferring bachelor’s degrees in engineering to African Americans, according to Diverse: Issues in Higher Education. NJIT is the only college or university in New Jersey named as one of the nation’s best value undergraduate institutions by The Princeton Review: America’s Best Value Colleges. The Oct. 17, 2006 issue of US News and World Report singled out NJIT’s program as sixth in the nation based on enrollment in ABET-accredited engineering schools and fifth in the nation based on the age of the program. NJIT is currently ranked by Princeton Review as #2 in the Nation for Least Happy Students. In recent years, it has been ranked #1 in this category three times (2002-2005), and #5 once (2005-2006 academic year). Princeton Review also ranks it #4 in the Nation for "Professors Get Low Marks" and #15 for "Diverse Student Population". NJIT is currently ranked by the Chronicle of Higher Education as #10 in the nation in mathematics for faculty productivity.
