Graduates of the program are have a path to pursue graduate degrees in biomedical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, engineering management, management or related areas and students may participate in the BS/MS Program (http://www.njit.edu/graduatestudies/program-options/bs-ms/index.php). The full four-year curriculum for the program is shown below. Students who wish to enter the program as a transfer student are typically students with an A.A.S. degree in Electrical Engineering Technology or Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology and should have completed most or all of the courses, or their equivalents, in the first two years of the program as shown below.
