Teacher Certificate
For students interested in a teaching career, NJIT students have the option of applying to the Teacher Certification program. This program, jointly administered with the Rutgers-Newark Department of Urban Education, allows accepted students to take the necessary coursework to be able to obtain a teaching license in New Jersey.
Teacher certification is open to students enrolled in either the BA or BS curriculum. All requirements of each curriculum must still be completed (35 credits of biology, cognate courses). Some Education courses fulfill the General University Requirements.
