What kinds of students partake in EOP?

The Educational Opportunity Program enrolls a diverse group of students, including men and women of all ages, from as far away as Puerto Rico and China. They have many different interests and enroll in majors varying from art to pre-medical studies. Their goals range from preparing for a good job after NJIT, to enrolling in graduate studies at other four-year colleges and professional schools. Many work co-ops and interns while attending school to support themselves and their families.
