History
The university was founded in 1855 in Newark, New Jersey, as the Newark Normal School, later to Newark State Teachers College. In 1958, it moved from Newark to Union, site of the Kean family’s ancestral home at Liberty Hall.
The university is named for the Kean family and Robert Winthrop Kean, who served New Jersey in the United States House of Representatives from 1939 to 1959, and owned the property where the university sits. Former New Jersey Governor, and head of the 9/11 commission, Thomas Kean, is Winthrop Kean’s grandson, and is a more notable living descendant of the school’s original property owners.
Kean was granted university status on September 26, 1997. Kean University has one of the finest programs for students wishing to become teachers. The university has a rigorous program that is noted to be the finest in the nation.[citation needed] While maintaining its significant role in the training of teachers, Kean has become a comprehensive institution offering 48 undergraduate and 28 graduate degree programs serving 13,050 students in fall 2006.
In 2006, the University announced that it is seeking approval from the Chinese and U.S. educational governing bodies to be the first American university to open an extensive University campus on Chinese soil. The new campus will be located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province one of the richest provinces in China with the highest growth rate. It is scheduled to be in full operation by 2010 and will enroll up to 4,000 students.
In 2009, the administration unveiled a major reorganization plan touted as the “first step” in privatizing the University.
