Through research, development and educational partnership arrangements, New Jersey Institute of Technology and a wide array of high technology organizations have been propelling the people and industry of the state and nation toward an improved quality of life in the 21st century. 

NJIT Academic Departments and Continuing Professional Education are contributing to this momentum, too, by conducting COLLABORATIVE GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS customized to a particular organization’s needs and designed to help keep highly technical workforces at the pinnacle of innovation and productivity. 

           High technology organizations engage professional workforces who, on a daily basis, practice the very academic subjects on which NJIT's laurels for excellence rest. This has led the university to develop COLLABORATIVE GRADUATE and UNDERGRADUATE CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS in various domains including Homeland Security and Emergency Management.  

Currently available Homeland Security-related programs:

• Emergency Management (Graduate Certificate)

• Network Security and Information Assurance (Graduate Certificate)

• Physical & Digital Counter-Terrorism (Undergraduate Certificate)

            NJIT has been certified by the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) and the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for 2006-2009.

             NJIT has been designated by the Governor of New Jersey as the leader of the NJ Homeland Security Technology Systems Center, advising all state law enforcement agencies and private organizations on homeland security matters.
