Wenzhou-Kean University

Launched in 2012, Wenzhou-Kean University (WKU) offers a unique model of higher education in partnership with Kean University, a comprehensive, public university in the state of New Jersey that is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Wenzhou is one of the most vibrant and economically advanced developed cities on China’s East Coast, located one hour by plane and three hours by high-speed train from Shanghai.

Striving for excellence in building an international university with world-class education, WKU has been dedicated to the principle of “providing students with different ways of development.” The University introduces advanced educational resources from prestigious universities in the U.S. and uses original American textbooks. 100% of the curriculum is provided by Kean University, and all the courses are taught in English. The University offers small size classes and adopts an inquiry-based learning approach. China’s national conditions and culture education are embedded in teaching practices. The University aims to cultivate students with global vision, know-how of international rules and conventions, and innovative creative and initiative competencies. “Start here, go anywhere.” The University helps students realize their dreams and prepares them to be successful in the global arena. In addition to its current 18 undergraduate programs, WKU has been approved by the Ministry of Education for offering 8 Master’s and 3 doctorate programs.
