Kean University does indeed have a transfer agreement with Union County College, so students wishing to transition between the schools usually find the process quite smooth. When students transfer between schools with an established agreement, their credits usually transfer more easily and smoothly. The transfer agreement infographic available on Kean's website provides the specifics.

Typically, Kean University prefers a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 from its transfer applicants, although some programs may have higher GPA requirements.

As far as application materials go, you will need to submit the following:

- Online application

- Official transcripts from all previous colleges

- High school transcripts or GED score, unless you have already earned an associate degree

Keep in mind that you should always double-check the admissions requirements directly with the institution, as specific requirements might change or vary by major. Please contact Kean University's transfer admission office if you have more specific questions. They'll be able to give you the most accurate information.

Best of luck with your decision and the potential transfer process!
