College of Saint Elizabeth

College of Saint Elizabeth is a private Catholic institution in Morristown, New Jersey, founded in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth. The college’s academic profile combines liberal arts and professional study, with undergraduate, graduate, and adult-focused programs delivered from its Morristown campus and through online offerings. Its work centers on educating women and men in a values-based environment shaped by the Catholic intellectual tradition and the Sisters of Charity’s emphasis on service, leadership, and social responsibility. The institution serves traditional undergraduates as well as adult learners and graduate students. Its academic offerings include programs in areas such as nursing, education, business, psychology, and the sciences, alongside continuing and professional studies. The college also operates initiatives tied to community need and workforce preparation; one concrete example is the longstanding Women with Children Program, created to support single mothers pursuing a college education while raising families. That program reflects a broader institutional focus on access and student support for populations balancing education with significant life responsibilities. College of Saint Elizabeth is part of the higher education landscape of northern New Jersey and maintains a regional role through community engagement, service learning, and professional preparation. Its identity is closely linked to the Sisters of Charity heritage, and its mission integrates academic achievement with ethical formation and service to others. The college’s campus in Morristown anchors that mission in New Jersey while extending its reach to students seeking flexible pathways into degrees and careers.
