The Humanities Department at NJIT is comprised of faculty and staff who are committed to providing each student with the multidisciplinary knowledge, skills and experience that provide a humanistic complement to a technical program of study. We are specialists in literature, philosophy, music, theatre, communication, writing assessment, English as a Second Language and new media.  We offer four degrees: an MS in Professional and Technical Communication (MSPTC); a BS in Science, Technology, and Society (STS); BA and BS degrees in Communication and Media, and soon a BA in Theater Arts and Technology.

We collaborate extensively with the joint Theatre Program and the Federated History Department with Rutgers-Newark, as well as NJIT's Environmental Policy Studies programs within the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science.  We are partners with other departments throughout the university in contributing to the Environmental Studies and Sustainability minor; home to several minors of our own, and numerous double major opportunities.  Through our Communication Studio, we provide writing and oral presentation skills assistance to the entire university community.

We look forward to working with all students  - through courses, guided research and advisement - to foster a sense of open-mindedness that is crucial to a comprehensive education and societal development, particularly as in the complex world of the twenty-first century.
