Independent Study
A matriculated Graduate student who has completed a minimum of 21 credits in their program with a GPA of 3.00 or higher, may apply to take an independent study to cover a course in their degree program if the course is not offered prior to graduation.
The student must obtain written approval of the faculty sponsor, program coordinator, the college Dean and the Office of the Registrar prior to registration. Students who register for independent study without obtaining the required approvals will have their registration forfeited. The application form is available at http://www.kean.edu/offices/registrar/forms-and-policies. Each student is limited to a maximum of two independent studies per program, with permission as noted above. Fall independent study work may be considered for a Spring Research Days presentation as recommended by the supervising faculty member.
