After a bachelor's degree, there are many options for students like starting a job in their career, enlisting in the military and going to graduate school. On East Campus, the Nathan Weiss Graduate College is available for Kean University students to continue and excel in their studies.
Nathan Weiss Graduate College has many requirements to make sure its students are prepared to apply and step foot on the campus. The Nathan Weiss Graduate College welcomes applications for graduate admissions from all candidates who meet the requirements of the University and the program.

After a professional resume comes the personal statement.
