Transition and Career Studies (TCS) at Georgian Court University is a four-year residential transition and postsecondary inclusive college-based program for students with intellectual disabilities. TCS will be admitting our first cohort of students in Fall of 2021. TCS is a residential program with a strong career-development focus, embedded in a small, private, Catholic liberal arts university. The program is grounded in GCU’s core values of respect, integrity, justice, compassion, and service.
