The NJCU/Kean Jersey City STEAM Academy is an intensive 5-week program that welcomes high-achieving 7th graders through 11th graders for an immersive on-campus experience in STEAM fields. High school students have the option to earn college credit for select general education courses in the University's Undergraduate Academic Catalogue.

Through hands-on labs, innovative projects and pre-college-level coursework, students grow their capabilities in biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, calculus, computer science and more while forming friendships that can last a lifetime. Generous ÃÛÌÒtv from partners like Bloomberg Philanthropies and Novartis Pharmaceuticals helps make this enrichment opportunity possible.

Passionate undergraduate students and alumni work closely with participants as teachers and teaching assistants. The program culminates in a Capstone presentation where students showcase their academic growth and newly expanded visions for college and future careers.
