NJIT On-Site Admissions Day

A representative from NJIT's Albert Dorman Honor's College will be conducting an On-Site Admissions Day at Biotech on Wednesday, November 9, 2016. This means they will review your credentials with you, and tell you if you are accepted into NJIT's Honor College.

When students are accepted to NJIT's Honors College they receive many benefits, including a merit scholarship package usually covering half-to-full tuition. For more info visit the Honors College website.
