Another Women’s College Considering Co-Education

The College of Saint Elizabeth in Morristown, New Jersey, is the only degree-granting women’s college remaining in the state of New Jersey. The college enrolls about 1,000 women undergraduates and 500 graduate students.

The college recently released a statement saying that the board of trustees may vote as early as this summer to transition to a co-educational institution. In a statement, Sally Cleary, vice president for institutional advancement, said that “when the College of Saint Elizabeth was founded in 1899, its mission was to serve where there was need –  educating young women. Today, that need may include the education of young men.”

The board of trustees has stated that if the undergraduate residential college were to go co-ed, the earliest possible date would be the fall of 2016.
