}} Georgian Court University is a private Roman Catholic university located in Lakewood Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. Operated by the Sisters of Mercy, the university has more than 1,600 undergraduates and more than 700 graduate students. In 2004, the institution was recognized with university status by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education. In 2012, Georgian Court became fully coeducational after more than 100 years as a women's college. ==History== The Sisters of Mercy founded Mount Saint Mary College as a liberal-arts school for women in 1908, in North Plainfield, New Jersey. In 1924, the Sisters of Mercy purchased Georgian Court, the estate of George Jay Gould I in Lakewood Township, New Jersey, moved the college there and renamed it Georgian Court College. The College was granted University status by the State in February 2004.〔Jeffries, Rosemary, "Transforming a College into a University," ' ' Presidential Perspectives: 2009/2010 Series ' ' , chapter 3, http://www.presidentialperspectives.org/pdf/2009/chapter03.pdf〕 The university offers more than 31 undergraduate majors through the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, and the School of Education. Georgian Court University (GCU) is non-discriminatory and welcomes people of all faiths, ethnicities, etc. Georgian Court University is widely known for its majors in the School of Education, which include bachelor and master's degrees, as well as many certifications in education, including concentrations in early childhood development, elementary school, secondary school and special education. The School of Business offers both undergraduate and MBA programs, and has expanded its global partnerships through 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Brief History of the SUNY COIL Center )〕 COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning). The School of Arts and Sciences has small class sizes and intense laboratory experiences. Because of small class sizes, students get the benefit of conducting research with faculty scholars and working closely with educators and staff on meaningful service projects. In 2015, students, faculty and staff contributed more than 60,000 volunteer hours to projects in the community and abroad. GCU identifies itself as a vibrant learning community adapting to the needs of today's students in all of its majors. Three of the newest major offerings on campus are the Bachelor of Arts in Dance, the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, Wellness, and Sports; and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Additional graduate programs developed in recent years include Applied Behavioral Analysis, Homeland Security and the school's online Holistic Health Studies program. In 2015, the school also launched an online graduate certificate program in Mercy Spirituality. Historically, GCU was known for its former women's college. Since 2012, however, the university has been fully coeducational. Georgian Court offers classes for students who live on campus, and for nonresidential undergraduate, and graduate students. Evening, weekend, and online classes cater to women and men with busy schedules, and beyond classes offered on the main campus in Lakewood, Georgian Court programs are offered at the New Jersey Coastal Communiversity in Wall. The GCU Lions compete in 14 NCAA Division II and CACC athletics programs, including basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. In 2015, the school announced that lacrosse would be added for Spring 2016. Currently, 99% of students receive financial aid. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georgian Court University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
