University Overview

Quinnipiac University is a private, coeducational university where students engage in an educational experience that’s both personal and challenging from faculty who care deeply about student outcomes. At Quinnipiac, students will do more than earn a degree. They will become a part of a vibrant community where students rally around common interests, passions and causes. This collective passion comes to life through 146 student-run organizations, while volunteering in the local community or through service-learning opportunities available around the world.

Why Quinnipiac University

Small Class Sizes: Small class sizes allow professors to get to know their students well — and offer one-on-one guidance.
Athletics: Between the impressive performances of the three-time defending national champion women’s rugby team, the women’s basketball team’s trip to the Sweet 16, and recent Frozen Four appearances for the men’s ice hockey team — not to mention multiple conference titles for many of our teams — it’s never been a better time to be a member of #BobcatNation.
Inclusivity: Quinnipiac’s mission is to build the University of the Future with a strategy propelling them toward an ambitious, inclusive and innovative future. Quinnipiac prepares graduates as enlightened global citizens equipped for the challenges and opportunities of 21st-century careers.
