Club Sports

Club Sports are recognized student organizations that emphasize a specific sport or physical activity and stress the importance of student development and leadership. Club Sports are strictly voluntary; student managed and offer activities that can be recreational, instructional or competitive in nature. Club Sport teams help bridge the gap between intramural sports and varsity athletics allowing participants to enjoy extramural competition without the pressures of highly structured varsity sports. Clubs are student directed, with members required to assume responsibility for organizing contests and fundraising activities, and can be a great opportunity to develop leadership skills. Most club teams compete in leagues against other local and regional teams and some even compete nationally.

Learning Communities engage like-minded students to connect and learn together through guidance from peer mentors, faculty, staff and advisors. They focus mainly on enhancing students’ learning experience and provide opportunities for academic, personal and social development.

Learning Communities support a very large and diverse portion of the freshmen population at NJIT. Learning Communities strive to increase student success, bonding and retention.  Learning Communities utilize a strong network of faculty, staff, academic advisors and peer mentors to provide students with a highly organized support structure to help them transition smoothly to college.
