CSE Overview

The College of Saint Elizabeth is a community of learning in the Catholic liberal arts tradition for students of diverse ages, backgrounds, and cultures.

Founded in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, the College has a strong tradition of concern for the poor, for developing leadership in a spirit of service and social responsibility, and a commitment to the promotion of women as full partners in society.

Through the vision of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Louise de Marillac and Mother Mary Xavier Mehegan, CSE continues to support women and men as they search for intellectual and personal growth in the caring and supportive atmosphere of a Catholic liberal arts college.

The College is proud to offer a large variety of programs to meet the challenges of the 21^st century. Students have the following options in selecting a program of study that best meets their needs:

• The Women's College - the undergraduate Women's College enables women to gain the knowledge and experiences they need to achieve their full potential academically, personally, spiritually and professionally.

• Continuing Studies - Undergraduate Programs for Women and Men - flexible coeducational evening, weekend, and online programs leading to a bachelor's degree meet the needs of adult learners seeking to advance their careers. We also offer a separate undergraduate day program for adult women.

• Graduate Programs - evening, weekend and online master's programs and a fully subscribed doctoral program are designed to help women and men advance in high-demand fields and professions. These programs prepare our students to stand out as ethical, knowledgeable leaders, who acting in the spirit of service and active engagement, excel in their professions, communities, and daily lives.
