“We have had a historic relationship with Union County College and the number of transfer students coming to NJIT from the college continues to grow,” said Fadi P. Deek, NJIT provost and senior executive vice president. “This agreement reaffirms our intent to further expand on the high-quality education pathways for the students and citizens of Union County.”
UCC students studying science or applied sciences can transfer into bachelor's programs at NJIT including engineering, architecture, computing and management, NJIT said. The two-year agreement will allow UCC students to more easily plan out a path to an NJIT bachelor's degree.
The agreement, signed April 30, also facilitates recruitment of UCC students.
“For many years, Union graduates who majored in engineering programs have transferred to NJIT. This agreement will allow our students to plan the completion of their bachelor’s degree from the time they begin their classes at the College,” said Union’s Vice President for Academic Affairs Maris Lown. “This is one more way we are meeting our mission of providing an affordable, high-quality education to residents of Union County.”
The agreement states the UCC student must be in good standing at the time of transfer and only courses in which the student has earned at least a C will be considered for transfer.
Administrators at both schools say the agreement will enable students to complete a bachelor's within two and a half years of study at NJIT.
