The students in this track will take courses in both institutions, NJIT and UNCPBA.

We envision that the students will spend at least two semesters at each institution, or until they pass the qualifying exams in the case of NJIT.

The number and level of the courses will be consistent with the 'Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures: Doctor of Philosophy' at NJIT.

The research credits will be taken by the students either at NJIT or at UNCPBA. Independently of the location, the dissertation research will be co-supervised by an NJIT faculty member.
