G2G is also a pathway for the parents of students to enroll at Kean University to obtain at least one additional degree higher than what they currently have. G2G helps families build a legacy through multigenerational growth to uplift the household in its entirety.

Parents embark on the Kean University journey with students by taking classes at the university. In order to help parents find the right programs, Kean University offers a variety of different options such as in-person classes, online classes and hybrid classes in several different majors. Parents can pick one that is right for them to customize their educational experience.
