The B.S. Degree in Sustainability Science will admit its first class in fall 2010. The program is the only one of its kind in New Jersey. It prepares students to identify and implement the environmental, economic, and social opportunities associated with sustainability.

The Green Machine
At the core of Kean's latest effort is the purchase and installation in January of an aerobic composter on campus. The unit, with a design based on the results of a waste audit conducted last year, will convert all of Kean's food waste on campus.
