About
Kean Skylands sits on 40 acres of protected land in Jefferson Township located in western Morris County, New Jersey.
Conveniently located near County College of Morris, Sussex County Community College, and Passaic County Community College, Kean Skylands is committed to helping area residents make a smooth transition toward earning their bachelor’s degrees.
The campus is like no other in New Jersey. The University renovated a 30,000-square-foot former abbey to serve as the campus’ main building. The Lodge now includes nine classrooms, a gym, 24 residential rooms, and flexible space for events. The Cabin, the campus’ newest building, is nestled among the trees and lends impressive views of the area with its floor to ceiling windows. The Cabin has three levels of classroom space and an open observation deck crowning the building. Workers also built an elevated, three-level skywalk which includes two outdoor classrooms and event space to facilitate programming.
Students at Kean Skylands benefit from Kean's low-cost tuition rates and financial aid, as well as the University's learning support, tutoring and career services.
