About
Kean Jersey City, formerly known as New Jersey City University (NJCU), is a public university in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States. Originally chartered in 1927, Kean Jersey City consists of the School of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and College of Professional Studies and is part of New Jersey's public system of higher education.
In 2022, it announced that it was severely reducing its academic offerings due to a budgetary crisis. In 2024, the school was considered financially stable though still underfunded. In early 2025, Kean University submitted a proposal to execute a merger with NJCU. On March 5, 2025, the NJCU Board of Trustees voted to authorize the NJCU president to pursue a letter of intent. After the planned completion of the merger on July 1, 2026, the Jersey City campus was renamed to Kean Jersey City.
