Located on a 200-acre campus in the heart of Morris County, about one hour
from New York City, the College of Saint Elizabeth was established by the
Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth as the state's first, four-year
Catholic college of women. It was chartered in 1900 and has been
continuously accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and
Universities since 1921. The presidential milestones below illustrate the
college's continued growth and development. Today, the college enrolls
nearly 1,800 students in its Women's college, and co-ed evening
undergraduate and graduate programs.
The mission of the College of Saint Elizabeth, sponsored by the Sisters of
Charity, is to be a community of
learning in the Catholic liberal arts tradition for students of diverse
ages, backgrounds and cultures. It promotes women as full partners in
society in all its programs, including those that enroll both women and men.
