Our location-five minutes from Newark Penn Station by subway, and thirty minutes from Midtown Manhattan-gives students access to a faculty drawn from the largest concentration of design professionals in the country, and enables those faculty to treat design as a diverse series of real projects on real sites in a vital metropolitan region. In combination with the unparalleled internship opportunities available in New York and Northern New Jersey and the availability of dual degree programs, this approach allows students to both prepare for a career in architecture and to find a direction within the field. The architect envisions and imagines both what is possible, and what ought to be. As a process, design gives form to society and the economic and technological aspects of environmental order.

For students in the Professional M.Arch. Program, partnerships through dual degree tracks in infrastructure planning, management and civil engineering can broaden a general education in architecture. Post-professional opportunities for specialized career directions, scholarly inquiry and research are also offered through degree programs in architectural studies and infrastructure planning.

The faculty comprises practitioners and scholars whose expertise and professional reputation are based on both breadth and depth of achievement. Their work directly engages the architectural discourse through research, publication, public lectures, symposia and professional practice. Many members have received scholarly recognition and design awards.

The New Jersey School of Architecture offers the only publicly supported professional program in New Jersey and is committed to NJIT's reputation as a nationally recognized technological university.
