Chemistry (NJCU) and Chemical Engineering (NJIT), Dual Degree (3 + 2) Program

This dual-degree program is designed for students interested in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. New Jersey City University and New Jersey Institute of Technology jointly offer a five-year program of study leading to a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from NJCU and a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from NJIT. Earning these two degrees increases the chances of obtaining a better entry-level position and opens the door to greater career possibilities. This program combines a traditional liberal arts environment with an intensive technical curriculum.

This dual-degree program is an excellent choice for students who understand the value of a liberal arts education, are interested in careers in the chemical sciences and engineering, wish to work as engineers while having a strong background in biology, and wish to maximize their career options.
Students enter as full-time, degree-seeking freshmen and continue their studies for three years at NJCU while taking occasional classes at NJIT, during which time the General Education coursework and the majority of Chemistry degree requirements from NJCU are satisfied. Students enroll full-time at NJIT during the fourth and fifth years of the program, during which time students focus on required engineering courses, some of which satisfy NJCU’s Chemistry degree requirements. A B.S. in Chemistry is awarded by NJCU at the end of the fourth year and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering is awarded by NJIT at the end of the fifth year.

Students interested in this dual-degree program are strongly encouraged to select the major as soon as possible upon enrolling at NJCU in consultation with a faculty advisor from the Physics Department. The advisor will assist students in planning the program of study in order to complete the program requirements within the five-year time span.
