About

The Dorothy and George Hennings College of Science, Mathematics and Technology (HCSMT) contains all of Kean's programs in the technological and life sciences, including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Forensic Science, Information Technology, Computational Science, Mathematics, Physics, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology and Environmental Science. Many programs provide trajectories into clinical health science graduate programs such as Medical, Dental, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant Studies.

As of September 2022, the HCSMT has incorporated the strengths and expertise of the New Jersey Center for Science, Technology and Mathematics into a newly established School of Integrative Science and Technology. HCSMT offers undergraduate honors programs in science and an interdisciplinary lens recognizing the convergence of scientific traditions in key fields of study such sustainability.

Our mission is to provide outstanding instruction in the following academic majors programs:

School of Integrative Science and Technology (IST)

  • 5-yr B.S./M.S. Science & Technology | Molecular Biology Option (Honors)
  • 5-yr B.S./M.S. Science & Technology | Computational Sci and Engineering Option (Honors) 
  • B.S. Science & Technology Biomedicine Option 

Science and Math Education

  • B.A. Biology Education
  • B.A. Biology Education Teacher of Students with Disabilities 
  • B.A. in Earth Science | Teacher Certification P-12
  • B.A. Mathematical Sciences Education
  • B.A. Mathematical Sciences Education Teacher of Students with Disabilities

Graduate Programs


We also offer the following minors for students looking to enhance their studies with a minimum of 18 semester hours in an academic discipline:

  • Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Chemistry
  • Computer Science
  • Computer Science Education
  • Cybersecurity
  • Forensic Science
  • Information Technology
  • Mathematical Sciences
  • Physics
  • Statistics
  • Sustainability Sciences

The College of Science, Mathematics and Technology provides valuable services to the community and creates exciting opportunities for our students' professional and intellectual development. Students learn to take personal, ethical and social responsibility by engaging in river cleanup projects, sustainable agriculture tours, environmental activism and more.

Students learn to demonstrate their skills effectively. A multitude of research possibilities abound, allowing undergraduate students to present their findings at local, national and even international levels. 

Regardless of the area of study, our students learn the knowledge and values needed to positively impact the field of science in their community and beyond.
