NJCSTM Mission and Goal Statement

Our vision is to be a home for our students throughout their careers, moving beyond merely offering degrees, to providing professional development at all levels. The mission of NJCSTM is to serve Kean University as a multi-disciplinary scholars program in applied Science, Mathematics and Biomedicine. Through an integrated curriculum we prepare students to be well-rounded scientists and educators.

Goals

1. Create future teacher-leaders that are sought after by school districts throughout the state
2. Train professionals in applied science, math and biomedicine with both highly developed practical and critical thinking skills and with the potential to further their professional development.
3. Recruit students from underrepresented and urban populations and have those students return to and continue to serve their communities.
4. Create a community of alumni dedicated to the growth of NJCSTM and the success of future students and themselves in advancing scientific and technological innovation.
5. Maintain a multi-disciplinary faculty in which ideas can be shared and faculty can develop outside of traditional domain areas.
