INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IN CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Students may accelerate completion of a Master's in Health Informatics or a Master's in Clinical Trial Science by completing specific graduate courses as part of their baccalaureate studies.

In addition, the program sequence outlined below includes specific general education courses which when taken as part of the Kean University course requirements will facilitate accelerated completion of a Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Kean University. Upon completion of the undergraduate degree, which includes one or two designated graduate courses, students return to Kean to complete 30 credits required for a master’s degree.  Students attending full time are able to complete the requirements for both degrees in less time.

All Courses designated BINF and IDST are to be completed at UMDNJ.
