GCU at Brookdale

Programs Offered

English, B.A. (With or without teacher certification)
The ability to read critically, write powerfully, and think independently is more valuable than ever — in law, business, medicine, education, media, and public life. GCU's B.A. in English builds those skills through close engagement with literature, language, and writing across cultures and centuries. Choose your concentration — Digital Humanities or Writing — and graduate ready for a career that puts the power of language to work.

Health Profession Studies, B.A.
Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors of the economy — and there are more entry points than most people realize. GCU's B.A. in Health Profession Studies is a flexible, student-centered degree that prepares you for a wide range of entry-level healthcare roles — from patient care coordination and hospital administration to health advocacy and community health — while also building a strong foundation for graduate programs in nursing, social work, speech-language pathology, and more.

Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A. (Business concentration or English concentration; the English concentration is also available with teacher certification and the Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) Endorsement)
Not every student fits neatly into a single major — and at GCU, that's not a problem. The B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies is built for students who want to pursue a rich, customized liberal arts education that crosses disciplinary boundaries. Choose your focus area, build depth across related fields, and graduate with a degree that's genuinely yours — and a professional skill set that's hard to replicate.

Nursing, R.N. to B.S.N. (Available only at the Lincroft location)
You're already a registered nurse. Now take your career to the next level. GCU's R.N. to B.S.N. program is a completion degree for licensed RNs prepared at the diploma or associate degree level — offering a flexible, focused pathway to the bachelor's credential that hospitals and healthcare employers increasingly require. Choose a clinical or population health focus. Complete minimum requirements efficiently. And graduate with a CCNE-accredited B.S.N. from a program conducted in partnership with Hackensack Meridian Health.

Psychology, B.A. (With or without teacher certification)
Understanding why people think, feel, and behave the way they do is one of the most powerful and practical forms of knowledge there is. GCU's B.A. in Psychology prepares you for careers in counseling, social services, research, education, and healthcare — or for graduate study in clinical psychology, counseling, school psychology, or applied behavior analysis. With optional concentrations, an elite honors program, and a direct path to GCU's graduate programs, this is a Psychology degree that opens doors.

Social Work, B.S.W.
Social work is one of the most meaningful professions in the world — and one of the most necessary. GCU's CSWE-accredited B.S.W. prepares you to practice as an entry-level generalist social worker, equipped with the knowledge, skills, values, and field experience to make a real difference with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Grounded in the Mercy tradition of justice and compassion, this is a program that takes its mission seriously — and so will you.

Programs that offer teacher certification also include the Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) Endorsement as part of the dual-certification pathway.
