A Letter from the President

To join SJIT is to become part of an institution built for a world in motion — where technology, knowledge, and the professions they shape never stand still.

Our students go on to build technology, contribute to organizations across industries, pursue advanced study, lead projects of their own, and return to the classroom as mentors and educators themselves. That progression is not accidental. It is cultivated deliberately through demanding coursework, practical experience, ambitious projects, and close interaction with academic leaders who bring academic knowledge and professional practice into the same learning environment.

You will find here challenging coursework, thoughtful debate, and colleagues who may continue to matter to you long after your program is complete. We invite you to discover what you can build at SJIT.

— João Góes

Department of Admissions

Different programs. Different paths to admission.

SJIT programs are designed for different stages of academic and professional development, and their admissions processes reflect that diversity. Some programs offer open admission to eligible students who wish to enroll, while others use a selective application process in which candidates are evaluated according to the objectives, audience, and demands of each program.

Open Admissions

Enroll directly

Open Admissions programs do not use competitive selection. Students who meet the applicable eligibility requirements may enroll directly, subject to availability and the specific conditions of the program.

Learn about Open Admissions
Selective Admissions

Apply for selection

Selective Admissions programs use a competitive application process. Requirements, evaluation criteria, and selectivity vary by program: a program designed for first-time professionals may evaluate a very different profile from one designed for experienced professionals or university students.
