Dean's Message | Ying Wu College of Computing

Now more than ever, computing is shaping the way we live, work and play, yet its biggest potential still lies ahead. Eliminating boundaries of space and time, computing has created a common store of knowledge and information that dwarfs anything that previously existed and will eventually be used in ways unimaginable today.

NJIT established the Ying Wu College of Computing in 2001, reflecting its desire to make computing a centerpiece of its vision for the 21st century. Our mission is to teach a broad range of computing disciplines to students on campus and at a distance, to carry out cutting-edge computing research, and to work closely with industry. We also support faculty and student innovation and collaborate closely with the local entrepreneurial eco-system, including the one growing in leaps and bounds in neighboring New York City. We aim for a broad impact inside and outside the campus.

The College enrolls more than 4,000 students (close to 35% of NJIT’s student body) and graduates more than 1,000 computing professionals every year. As such, we are the largest computing program in the region, and the most significant generator of tech talent in the New York metro area, yet our classes remain small, averaging under 30 students. Our instruction features multiple team projects and co-op programs in collaboration with industry. Our students are groomed for a wide range of employment options, and most will end up working at the best companies, often before graduation. We offer a broad range of computing degrees at all levels and students engage with our faculty in cutting-edge research in areas ranging from networking and cybersecurity to data science, cloud computing, gaming and virtual reality.

Our new facility in Jersey City offer graduate-levels certificates and MS degree programs in the most popular subjects, serving working professionals in the New York City region across a broad swath of industries.

Please do not hesitate to approach us if you need more information about Ying Wu College of Computing. We are here to serve, now more than ever.
