Impending Winter Storm

Due to the impending storm, all classes and activities at Kean’s main campus in Union, Kean Ocean and Kean Skylands will operate remotely on Sunday, January 25, and Monday, January 26. 

The University will observe a Winter Wellness Day on Tuesday, January 27, following the storm. Classes and activities will not run, and employees are not expected to work. 

Due to ongoing power problems at the Kean Ocean Gateway Building, all classes and activities at Kean Ocean will also be conducted remotely on Friday, January 23, and Saturday, January 24. This only applies to Kean Ocean. 

Only essential personnel should report to work as scheduled during the remote period or on Tuesday. Employees with questions about their status should consult their supervisor. 

Keanu’s Kitchen will remain open for residential students on the Union campus from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday. 

All vehicles parked on the Union campus must be relocated to the Vaughn-Eames overnight parking lot by 6 p.m. on Saturday to allow for storm cleanup. Vehicles parked elsewhere on campus are subject to relocation.

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.
