It is better to let me know so we would check if they count towards your degree. 8. What is the financial aid available for MS Students? A: TA-ships are very contested by Ph.D. students. RA-ships may be possible but you may need to be accepted in the research project of a professor. That means, you may need to ask individual faculty for acceptance. Another option is to search for on-campus job. You may need to ask different offices in the university and check NJIT website. For domestic students, please check Bursars office and Graduate Student Office for information about federal loans and other programs. 9. How much is tuition fee to study?

You need to contact your program Advisor or Ms. Bass (ECE Office). 12. Should I email you my GPA and other scores to see if I am eligible to apply for admission to your M.S. program? Answer: There is no need. Please contact NJIT Admission department. I can advise students already accepted and registered for the MS in COE and Telecomm. Programs. 13. Should I pick any subject in NJIT to complete an MS program after having fulfilled the core courses requirement? Answer: You need to see the program and courses listed in the program description and check with me. Else, you risk to take course that doesn’t count towards the degree and you won’t be able to use it but it may affect your GPA. |

14. What is a general recommendation for MS students:
It is our goal that you are successful in these programs. So, it is suggested that you: a. Follow the courses in the program and make a program plan (list all courses you would like to take as Electives). Make sure you comply with pre-requisites (they are set for you to be able to get good grades). b. Talk to your instructor/advisor if grades are not going as desired. c. Experience the environment in the first semester, do not overload. GPA is very important. d. Attend seminars and talks in the department. You will learn of new markets, topics, ideas. e. Dedicate yourself to study the courses seriously, join other activities at NJIT (e.g., clubs, gym classes, technical societies, research labs), spend time at school. |
| Co-OPs and Internships | ||
|---|---|---|
Please note that you need to apply for Co-Ops and Internet with time in advance. Please check with Career Development Services (CDS) Office for information about Co-Op. I do not handle such information. Internships are usually performed during the summer. They both are useful for collecting working experience.
