Transformative initiatives
We’re on the journey with you to develop your knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve your goals. The methods of teaching and learning are creative and thorough. In every class, your professor will take a personal interest in you and help you think critically and clearly.

Excellent lab facilities in the sciences and engineering promote students working in small groups under faculty direction and supervision. Field studies and internships are integral parts of all science and engineering programs. Students may also plan to continue on in graduate study in a variety of fields at Quinnipiac: Molecular and Cell Biology, Cyber Security, Social Work, Business, Law, Health Careers, Education, Communications, or Medicine.

Quinnipiac’s Pre-medical Studies program gives you the background to meet the academic entrance requirements of professional schools, including chiropractic, dentistry, medicine, osteopathy, podiatry, and veterinary.

At Quinnipiac, the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine is named for the noted surgeon and world’s most well-known medical illustrator. The School of Medicine is located on the North Haven campus and features a state-of-the-art building and facilities in a spectacular setting.

It is an education that works. In a survey of a recent Quinnipiac class taken six months after graduation, 97% of respondents were either employed or in graduate school full-time.

Advising now and for the future
College-level academics can be demanding, but Quinnipiac is a learning community. The Learning Commons provides full tutoring assistance in academic subjects as well as workshops to improve study skills, time management, and research techniques. Tutors are upperclass students who are certified. Internships and clinical work often lead to full-time employment after you earn your degree.

Career advisement in each of the schools bridges your college experiences with your career expectations. During your Quinnipiac years, your academic advisor will help you meet graduation requirements and monitor your progress. Our Integrative Advising Center will cater to the lifespan of students and alumni.
