NJIT's Mission | Office of the President

With its four-pronged mission of education, research, economic development, and engagement, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) plays a critical role in shaping New Jersey's future. As a major public technological university, NJIT is an important conduit through which technology flows into society. The university's educational programs prepare students to be leaders in the technology-dependent economy of the 21st century.
