Many online classes are taught by professors who are also leading-edge researchers in their fields. One distinguished professor at NJIT was even named best online instructor in the country - a coveted award - by the Alfred F. Sloan Foundation. Having research professors teach your class assures that you'll learn the most advanced subject matter in whatever field you chose to study.
NJIT's online programs are also student centered. Optimally, online classes turn into virtual-learning communities, in which students interact and learn from each other, and their professors, more than they could in face-to-face classes. Perhaps that's why some online NJIT students have such high praise for its programs.
