Center for International Studies

At Kean, we believe in providing a world-class education to our students. That means giving you the chance to see the world and learn from different perspectives so that you're prepared to compete in the global marketplace after graduation.

Study abroad is the study that takes place outside of the country in which you are enrolled as a student. It may include participating in courses, internships, research, service learning, and other learning activities.

Students at Kean University have three main options for studying abroad: our WKU Exchange, one of our many Spring or Summer Travelearns, or participating in a program provider trip. Students can choose the experience that best suits their interests, ranging from studying abroad for a full academic year, semester, or 7-10 days. 

Our Office of International Student Services takes pride in welcoming a diverse group of students and scholars from around the world to Kean U.S.A. each year. We stand ready to help with immigration and visa regulations and other support to help ensure you have a positive and meaningful experience.

Kean University is the only American public university to offer a full campus in China. Students from Kean USA and institutions across the country can study in the fully English-speaking environment alongside students from across China.
