Gilead Details
GILEAD College (N.Y.) is a reputable educational institution with focus on administration, human resources and international non-profit management.SUBJECTSOne highlight is the course of law studies. Besides a thorough analysis of secular concepts of jurisdiction considering two main systems, namely Anglo-American law and Roman civil law, the lectures and seminars proceed to examine Old/New Testament legal terms as well as ecclesastical regulations regarding their relevance within the context of modern value systems. Each teaching unit deals with a complex legal issue. Whereas in the early years of GILEAD only the Constitution of the US and its paragraphs were thoroughly studied, today the specific scopes of the respective national law play an increasingly important role. Furthermore, various decisions of the Federal Courts come to detailed treatment. For this, this degree course focus, inter alia, on the following aspects: Civil and criminal law, litigation, property laws, corporate law, legal remedies, international law, fundamental citizens' rights, and law-compliant balancing of interests.CAMPUSOriginally, the campus was located in South Lansing amidst an idyllic landscape. Whenever possible and appropriate, the lecturers used an amphitheater for presentations and seminars in the open air. From 1961 to ‘88 — long before the move to its present location in Patterson — the college was embedded in Brooklyn's historic district between Henry Street and Columbia Heights with its venerable and distinguished buildings. The Plymouth Bethel on Hicks Street was once on campus, as well as Henry Ward Beecher's home in Columbia Heights. From the early 80s onwards, branch schools were established in a few countries, amongst others in Germany near Frankfurt/Main. Since 1987, candidates were enrolled under special entrance prerequisites for slightly altered degree programs and were graduated with the Ministerial Training School diploma, or other degrees as a result.
