NJIT Named one of The Princeton Review's Top 50 Best Value Colleges

NEWARK, JANUARY 8, 2009

The Princeton Review today named NJIT among the nation’s top 50 public undergraduate institutions for value. NJIT was included in the select listing because it has long been known for affordability nationally and in the region. The annual tuition this year for in-state students is under $10,000. Once again in New Jersey, only NJIT and the College of New Jersey received this designation for public institutions; Princeton University was listed among the private institutions.

According to The Princeton Review, NJIT “stands today as one of the nation’s most prominent research schools, specializing in nanotechnology, solar physics, and polymer science. . . . and retains its reputation as New Jersey’s top choice for the hard sciences.”

The Review also noted the rise of Newark “poised for a comeback . . . Newark has no lack of stuff going on. Greek life plays a small role on-campus, but if that’s not your gig, the New Jersey Devils play in a recently completed stadium downtown and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center plays host to a variety of concerts and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Newark is also just a short train ride from New York City.” NJIT President Robert A. Altenkirch’s notable work on behalf of the City of Newark led to his being named earlier this month by New Jersey Monthly among New Jersey’s top 100 people to watch in 2009.
