NJIT Highlanders

The NJIT Highlanders play at the NJIT Wellness and Events Center in Newark, New Jersey, competing in the America East Conference. NJIT is one of the newer members of the America East. The Highlanders' red and white colors and Newark location in the New York metropolitan area create a unique identity.

NJIT operated as a Division I independent before joining the America East Conference. The Highlanders continue to build their program and establish themselves in the conference. NJIT's engineering and technology focus attracts student-athletes seeking technical education alongside basketball.
