At NJIT, students learn chemistry from experienced faculty who provide personalized attention in small classes with an emphasis on laboratory skills; the curriculum offers a firm foundation in chemical principles for application in industry, government or continuing studies in graduate school. By selecting technical electives, one can focus on a specific area such as medical, analytical, synthetic-organic, or environmental chemistry. The Environmental Science Program allows you to choose from, four scientifically rigorous multidisciplinary areas: Sustainable Earth, Biocomplexity, Environmental Policy, or Chemistry of the Environment. Each curriculum provides a strong science foundation with a focus on applications.

The Environmental Policy Studies Program provides undergraduate instruction in the basic social sciences and serves as the home for the Graduate Program in Environmental Policy Studies. The graduate program focuses on the role of the social sciences in the development, implementation and evaluation of environmental policy. Building on the strengths of a technological university, students take foundation courses in geography, economics, ethics and policy. Application courses on economic modeling, geospatial analysis and applied ethics enable students to acquire skills in the tools and methods used in environmental problem solving and policy analysis.
