POST-BACCALAUREATE STUDENT QUALIFICATION

A qualified Post-Baccalaureate Student is defined as an individual who has earned a B.S. in Engineering or Engineering Technology (ENGR/ET) from an ABET-accredited program. Applicants holding degrees from non-accredited NJIT programs will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with SAET policy. All Post-Baccalaureate Student applicants must also meet NJIT’s institutional admission requirements for undergraduate study.

GUIDANCE

This guidance is based on the 2025–2026 academic catalog. Table 1 identifies the courses a Post-Baccalaureate Student must complete to earn the B.S. in Surveying Engineering Technology (SET). Additional coursework may be required beyond those listed in Table 1, depending on the student's academic background and licensure goals.

• Course Equivalency Review: A previously completed New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) course (grade of C or better) that matches the listed required course may satisfy the requirement. Equivalency will be reviewed and confirmed by the SET Program Coordinator and the SAET Director.
• Credit by Examination: In accordance with NJIT policies, Post-Baccalaureate Students may pursue course completion by examination for the following:
  • MET 103–Introduction to Engineering Technology Design
  • MET 105–Applied Computer-Aided Design
• Mathematics Prerequisite: Post-Baccalaureate Students are expected to have completed the SET calculus sequence (MATH 138 and MATH 238) or an equivalent sequence from their prior academic program.
• NJIT General Education Requirements: Post-Baccalaureate Students are expected to have met the NJIT General Education Requirements (GERs) either with courses previously completed or before graduation. Upon admission the GERs would be evaluated and additional courses specified if needed.
• Credits That Must Be Taken at NJIT: Students in the post-baccalaureate program must complete at least 33 upper-division credits (300-400 level courses), excluding transfer, equivalency, or credits earned toward a prior NJIT degree.

About The Program

The School of Applied Engineering & Technology’s (SAET’s) Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Engineering Science provides students with an opportunity to conduct doctoral research on multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and trans-disciplinary topics. Engineering Science is a broad discipline that encompasses elements of engineering and applied science but does not “belong” distinctively to any single discipline.

The objective of the Ph.D. program is to provide students with an opportunity to conduct advanced research and study in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary aspects of the engineering practice. The program is intended for students whose graduate study in engineering is best supported by a collection of courses from various departments and/or whose research area does not meet the scope of other engineering departments. The nature of this degree provides flexibility in designing programs of study that are tailored to the specialized needs of the student and the industry/field they would like to enter.

Ph.D. in Engineering Science

The Ph.D. in Engineering Science is a research-based doctoral degree that is structured for the specialized research interests of the student. The Ph.D. degree program complements the existing Master of Science (M.S.) in Engineering Science and other Master level graduate programs. Students conduct rigorous interdisciplinary research in applied areas of engineering and science to become subject matter experts.

The focus is on applied research informed by the needs of industry, education, and government organizations. Several applied research areas could be pursued relevant to different sectors found in industry, academia, and government.

This program is in alignment with NJIT’s Collaborative Ph.D program, where:

• The candidate will be allowed to use the employer’s facilities to carry out the research.
• The student’s main advisor is an NJIT faculty member.

M.S. in Occupational Safety and Health Engineering (OSHE) program complements the undergraduate BMET program by providing further education in the applied healthcare and biomedical fields. This combination prepares students for careers involving safety and industrial hygiene/ergonomics. The OSHE curriculum has been designed in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which sponsors the program.

About the Program

Students enrolled in the BMET undergraduate curriculum can pursue the M.S. OSHE option by being accepted into the NJIT BS/MS program. This allows students to take up to 3 graduate courses in their senior year, where up to 2 of the courses will apply for both degrees. These courses in OSHE include Legal Aspects of Health and Safety, Safety Engineering Methods, Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health, Applied Industrial Ergonomics, Applied Statistics and Epidemiology for Hazard Analysis, and Systems Safety.   

Students interested in this option should take the following class as a technical elective as part of their BMET curriculum: Human Factor (IE 355). This class will serve as a prerequisite for the graduate OSHE classes.

Upon completion of the program, students can explore a wide range of career opportunities in industries such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food processing, healthcare, and automotive. These industries offer diverse and rewarding roles that align with the skills and knowledge gained from the MS in OSHE program.

About the Program

Biomedical Engineering Technology students will focus on courses specializing in Materials and Processing, Biomedical Mechatronics, Imaging, Sensors, & Systems, and an industry rotation. 

These courses will help develop skills related to design, manufacturing, sales & distribution, data analysis, and project management. Exposure will be given to various biomedical devices, manufacturing process of biomedical materials, and the regulatory landscape.

The program will prepare students for applied careers in technical areas including: medical devices, tissue engineering, food processing, patient-specific implants and technologies, medical image processing, rehabilitation technologies, and medical software development and implementation.

The Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) program is a full four-year curriculum, which also provides an opportunity for transfer students with A.A.S. degrees to complete their baccalaureate degree. In the case of all students,
both four-year and transfer, a minimum of 120 credits is required for graduation.
