Newark, NJ - NJIT recently made the top 50 in a new national ranking, just released by Georgetown University, on the “50 colleges where students earn the highest salaries.” In the report, "Ranking Your College: Where You Go and What You Make," the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce looked at the four-year colleges whose students go on to earn the highest salaries 10 years after starting their studies. NJIT came in first among New Jersey public universities and 47th nationally, with median annual earnings of $65,300.
Earlier, Business Insider ranked NJIT #1 on its list of “The 50 Most Underrated Colleges in America.” The magazine called NJIT “a leader in job placement,” noting that at least 56 percent of NJIT students already are employed by the time they graduate -- a figure 26 percent higher than the national average. Another 13 percent are enrolled full time in graduate school after graduation, the magazine reported.
NJIT also ranks well in a number of other national surveys where the university is among the top 200 U.S. colleges or higher including: US News & World Report, the Brookings Institution, Forbes, Money, Washington Monthly, Diverse Issues in Higher Education, PayScale.com and BestColleges.com.
