Kean Ocean

Kean University and Ocean County College have established a partnership to provide higher education in Ocean County beyond the level of the associate’s degree. Students completing their associate’s degree can continue on with their study for a Kean bachelor’s degree with Kean courses offered on the OCC campus. Kean also offers master's degrees at OCC.

Kean bachelor’s degrees are being offered at OCC in Accounting, Biology, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Elementary Education, English, Finance, Graphic Design, History, Management, Marketing, Nursing, Physical Education, Public Administration, Psychology, Sociology and Special Education. Students who have already completed their associate’s degrees will have their OCC courses evaluated on a case-by-case basis and matched as closely as possible to the requirements for Kean degrees. Students newly entering OCC may follow our detailed program guides which specify the exact OCC courses to take for fulfilling the requirements of both their OCC associate’s degrees and their Kean bachelor’s degrees.

Kean master's degrees are being offered at OCC in Counseling, Educational Administration (principal and supervisor certificate and school business administrator certificate), Nursing, Social Work, Business Administration, and Public Administration.
