In today's world, there is a growing demand for well-rounded and globally oriented engineers, computer scientists, architects, managers and other technological professionals. NJIT offers students the opportunity to develop these qualities through its study abroad program. In conjunction with their studies, students also develop cross-cultural communication skills and increase their fluency in a second language by studying and living in another country. These advanced technological and communication skills enable a graduating student to compete and excel in a multinational or multicultural business environment.
