Undergraduates Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to participate in research.  By participating in research, a student will be applying their classroom knowledge and strengthening their laboratory skills.  For students planning on a career or graduate school , such laboratory experience can be invaluable. Because biology students have a broad science background, they can work with researchers from many disciplines.  Our students have worked in the Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics departments at NJIT and also in various departments at UMDNJ.
