The Dorothy and George Hennings College of Science, Mathematics and Technology

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.
