Georgian Court University, located in Lakewood, New Jersey, occupies a 156-acre campus approximately one hour from both New York City and Philadelphia. The private Catholic institution, founded in 1908 by the Sisters of Mercy, operates from a historic estate formerly owned by financier George Jay Gould, featuring several Gothic-revival buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally established as a women's college, Georgian Court became fully coeducational in 2013 and maintains its commitment to Mercy core values while offering undergraduate and graduate programs with particular strengths in education, nursing, business, and psychology. The university provides traditional dormitory housing in three residence halls and apartment-style living options, primarily serving students from New Jersey and the surrounding mid-Atlantic region.
