Change of Program/Change of Option
Changing from one academic program to another is not automatic. In order to change programs at the graduate level, students must submit an application through the Office of Admissions via apply.kean.edu. Individuals may be required to submit copies of documents evidencing the completion of the program’s admissions requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, copies of official transcripts, official score reports from standardized admissions tests, letters of recommendation, and narrative statements.
Students interested in changing only the option within their program may do so by submitting a request via the Office of the Registrar. The form for this request may be found at grad.kean.edu/forms. Changes of option require that the student remain in his/her current academic program and just the concentration within that program be adjusted. Please see below for examples of each change.
Examples of a change of option:
M.A. Counseling: Clinical Mental Health to M.A. Counseling: School Counseling
Examples of a change of program: M.A. Counseling: Clinical Mental Health to M.S. Accounting
