Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in Architecture (either at NJIT or elsewhere) are strongly advised to take (MATH 113 Finite Mathematics and Calculus I, Students should consult admissions requirements for any program and/or institution they are considering.
This curriculum represents the maximum number of credits per semester for which a student is advised to register. A full-time credit load is 12 credits. First-year students are placed in a curriculum that positions them for success which may result in additional time needed to complete curriculum requirements. Continuing students should consult with their academic advisor to determine the appropriate credit load.
