Saint Elizabeth University occupies suburban Morristown, NJ — a private campus quieter than a downtown one, closer to one than a rural seat. The school maintains its Roman Catholic affiliation, which threads through campus life to a degree that varies by program.
Its highest-earning path is Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing, where graduates median $109,286 four years out. Faculty pay averages $94,500 a year here — a rough proxy for what the school spends on the teaching itself. With 557 undergraduates and a residential core, weekends happen on campus — and 64.7% of first-years come back for a second year.
The numbers above and the majors table below tell the measurable half of that story.
