Students can obtain advanced standing in Honors in several ways

Several New Jersey high schools have Joint Advanced Standing Admissions agreements with NJIT. These include:

• Two of the Bergen County Academies: the Academy for the Advancement of Science and Technology, and the Academy for Engineering and Design. Students who are admitted to and successfully complete the 4-year Advanced Standing program at one of these high schools are guaranteed admission with Sophomore status into a parallel program at NJIT in Engineering, Computer Science, or Management.
  
  
• The Morris County Academy for Mathematics, Science, & Engineering at Morris Hills High School in Rockaway.  Career pathways include Engineering, Business Management, Design, Computer Science, Information Technology, Architecture, and Biotechnology.

Students at these schools should apply through their school.

• Advanced Placement: NJIT accepts a full range of AP credits, based on results of the AP test.  In general, an AP score of 4 earns one semester’s credit and a score of 5 earns two semesters. Full details are available on the Admissions website at http://www.njit.edu/admissions/docs/AP05.pdf .
  
• Credit by Examination: Students may earn credit for certain NJIT courses if they have acquired sufficient knowledge through nontraditional means like independent study or job related experiences. This program has two components: the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and NJIT Department Testing.  For full details, please see the Credit by Examination Policy.
