| School mission: | Sacred Heart University, distinguished by the personal attention it provides its students, is a thriving, dynamic university known for its commitment to academic excellence, Division I athletics, cutting-edge technology, and community service. The second-largest Catholic university in New England, Sacred Heart continues to be innovative in its offerings to students; recently launched programs include Connecticut's first Doctoral program in Physical Therapy, an MBA program for liberal arts undergraduates at the AACSB-accredited John F. Welch College of Business, and a campus in County Kerry, Ireland. The University's commitment to experiential learning incorporates concrete, real-life study for students in all majors and help lead to the University's 98% job/graduate school placement rate upon graduation. Drawing on the rich resources in New England and New York City, students are connected with research and internship opportunities ranging from co-ops at international advertising agencies to research with faculty on marine life in the Long Island Sound. These experiential learning opportunities are complemented by a rich student life program offering over 80 student organizations including strong music programs, media clubs, and academic honor societies. With 6,000 students enrolled in more than 40 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, this dynamic, lay-led university is an innovative presence within Catholic higher education. |
