Quinnipiac University

Quinnipiac University is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution located in Hamden and North Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1929 as the Connecticut College of Commerce, the university has grown from a business-focused school to a comprehensive institution offering more than 160 academic programs across nine schools. These include the School of Business, School of Communications, School of Computing & Engineering, School of Education, School of Health Sciences, School of Law, Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and the College of Arts & Sciences. The university is among only 2.1 percent of all U.S. universities that operate both a medical school and a law school.

Today, Quinnipiac serves approximately 10,000 students across its undergraduate, graduate, law, and medical programs. The university's 600-acre campus spans three locations in southeastern Connecticut, including the Mount Carmel Campus next to Sleeping Giant State Park, the York Hill Campus, and the North Haven Campus. Quinnipiac is home to the nationally recognized Quinnipiac University Poll, widely regarded as a gold standard in public opinion research. The institution's 21 Division I athletic teams have achieved remarkable success, including an NCAA National Championship in ice hockey and a three-time defending national championship in women's rugby. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report and Princeton Review, Quinnipiac prepares graduates as enlightened global citizens equipped for the challenges of 21st-century careers.
