Kean University is a coeducational, public university located in the cities of Union and Hillside, New Jersey, United States, serving students in the liberal arts, the sciences, the professions, and is best known for its programs in the humanities & social sciences and in education, graduating the most teachers in the state of New Jersey annually. Kean University was founded in 1855 in Newark, New Jersey, as the Newark Normal School, initially established as a teacher-education college becoming the New Jersey State Teachers College in 1937. In 1958, the college was relocated from Newark to the site of the Kean family's ancestral home in Union, New Jersey. Kean University has subsequently grown to become the third largest institution of higher education in New Jersey and currently comprises five undergraduate colleges and the Nathan Weiss Graduate College. Kean University also hosts numerous research institutions, perhaps most prominently the New Jersey Center for Science, Technology and Mathematics, the Kean University Human Rights Institute, the Holocaust Recourse Center, the Wynona Moore Lipman Ethnic Studies Center, and Liberty Hall. In recent years Kean has expanded to a satellite campus in Toms River, New Jersey and is constructing a foreign campus in the People's Republic of China. Kean University was named a noteworthy College of the Year in 2001 by Time, and in 2008 was designated one of the five best diverse colleges in the nation by DiversityInc.
