B.S. Applied Physics
One of the primary responsibilities of the physics department is to educate the next generation of scientists, engineers and scientifically informed citizenry through research-intensive education in the physical sciences and related technologies. The program provides students with critical interdisciplinary knowledge — offering a general physics option with a broad exposure to several major areas of physics. Students of the program will also be able to advance their studies through double major in Computer Science and Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics (B.S. programs) options.
Through their coursework and research focuses, students of the Applied Physics B.S. program will exhibit the following:
Understanding of the latest and most rapid advances in science and technology.
Interdisciplinary academic excellence that will help them drive future advances in science and technology.
Understanding of current problems and complexities in their field of interest through required senior level specialty courses and interdisciplinary study.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
All students who apply to NJIT must submit an official high school transcript in English. When evaluating your application for undergraduate admission, we are interested in understanding how you challenged yourself relative to the curriculum that was available at your school and the trends in your performance—for example, if your grades improved between freshman and senior year.
We also consider the GPA that is indicated on your high school transcript. We look for students in the top 25 percent of their class. For schools that don't use a ranking system, we consider a 3.0 GPA or higher to be equivalent.
Partaking in rigorous curricula, such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, can give you an additional advantage. The number of semester credits you will receive will depend on whether you got a 3, 4, or 5 on your AP exams, or a grade of 5, 6, or 7 in IB subject areas. That score also determines which courses you will be excused from taking at NJIT.
Standardized Test Scores
All freshman applicants must take the SAT and/or the ACT, as they provide helpful standardized context for your application compared to our overall applicant pool. However, be assured that test scores are only one part of our application review.
Effective as of January 2017, NJIT will accept the redesigned SAT scores for admission and scholarship purposes. Applicants may submit scores from either the old or new SAT.
Average composite SAT score for our enrolling freshmen is 1285 (2 part - Math and Critical Reading).
Average ACT score for our enrolling freshmen is 26.
Submitting Scores
We will consider either the new or old SAT or ACT and use the highest scores provided, even if they are not from your most recent testing. You may self-report standardized test scores on your application as a temporary placeholder for official scores, allowing us to get a head start on a review of your file.
We recommend you send us all of your official scores as soon as possible, or no later than the time you test, to avoid missing a deadline.
