Douglass Residential College, located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is a part of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and is the successor of acclaimed Douglass College (originally New Jersey College for Women). It offers a four-year, women-centered community that focuses on developing women's success. While Douglass no longer offers a separate degree, it does provide a variety of opportunities for young women to reside in women-only residence halls, to participate in women-centered organizations and to develop leadership skills. Douglass was founded as the New Jersey College for Women in 1918 by the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs. In 1955, the name was changed to Douglass College in honor of its founder, Mabel Smith Douglass. It was the largest public women's college in the United States. In 2005, Rutgers University President Richard Levis McCormick unveiled plans to merge Douglass College with the University's three other undergraduate liberal arts colleges — Rutgers College, Livingston College and University College — to create the School of Arts and Sciences.
