| Mission | |
| School mission: | Quinnipiac University is committed to providing high quality academic programs in a student-oriented environment, on a campus with a strong sense of community. As of Fall 2009 Quinnipiac will actually be three campuses. The uniquely attractive Mount Carmel campus of 250 acres is located minutes from New Haven, mid-way between New York City and Boston, and offers a variety of majors along with internship and clinical experiences in Business, Communications, Health Sciences, Education, Liberal Arts and Sciences and Law to the 5,700 undergraduate and 2,000 graduate and part time students. Excellent facilities such as the fully digital high-definition production studio in the Ed McMahon Center for Mass Communications, the Sports biomechanics 'motion analysis' lab, the Critical Care lab for Nursing and Physician Assistant students, and the Financial Technology Center (trading room), provide state-of-the-art training experiences. Nineteen athletic teams (nickname, the "Bobcats") compete in Division I sports (Men's and Women's Ice Hockey is a member of the ECAC, most other teams are in the Northeast Conference). The 250 acre nearby York Hill campus is the home of the TD Banknorth Sports Center, with 3500 seat 'twin' arenas for basketball and ice hockey. New residence halls, a student center and parking garage will open Fall 2009, which will expand the guarantee of three years of housing to incoming freshmen to include a significant number of seniors as new residence space is available. Quinnipiac is adjacent to the 1,700 acre Sleeping Giant State park with trails for hiking and scenic views. Seventy-five percent of the entering class comes from out of state and ninety-five percent of the freshmen live on campus. Although resident freshmen may not bring a car to campus, the University maintains an extensive campus shuttle system which brings students to nearby shopping, restaurants, museums, and the New Haven train station with access to Metro North and Amtrak. Just four miles away is the 104 acre North Haven campus, opening Fall 2009, with a phase-in plan to accommodate most of the Graduate programs. Graduate and upper division programs in the School of Health Sciences will occupy the first of four buildings. |
