Programming Designed to Facilitate Access to Higher Education
A significant number of students beginning higher education across the country require additional college preparation in the basic skills areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. Many others are students whose native language is not English who also require additional preparation.
Kean is committed to providing the support that is necessary to prepare all its students to participate fully in the wide range of academic programs available at the University. The School of General Studies and its programmatic offerings are the University’s major initiatives in this area. For additional information on these services and offerings, see the School of General Studies section.
In addition, Kean's English as a Second Language Program and Spanish Speaking Program have been designed at Kean University to enable entering students to improve their basic skills or their fluency in English in order to enhance the likelihood of success in college-level coursework.
