Albertus Magnus College

Albertus Magnus College—conveniently located on a beautiful 50-acre campus in the Prospect Hill neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut—is committed to the success of every student. Our values- and liberal arts–based four-year private education will prepare you not only for a career but for life.

Thanks to our diverse population of 500+ students, a wide range of academic concentrations, and a supportive faculty, the College is alive with many opportunities, activities, and mutual respect for others. Just like you, current students at Albertus are curious and looking for new and interesting ways to approach scholarly challenges as well as social issues. We want you to grow into a lifelong learner and be a successful contributor to your community.

As a Catholic college whose mission is deeply rooted in the Dominican tradition, the four pillars of study, prayer, community, and service are the driving force of everything that makes Albertus an excellent environment in which to grow. The pursuit of veritas, or truth, and the practice of disputatio, or dialogue, are shown in the time-tested liberal arts curriculum that supports every major. These connections are evident between students and their peers, faculty, and the surrounding New Haven community in their daily interactions.

Nothing less than academic excellence
Immerse yourself in a rigorous academic curriculum that will stretch your intellectual limits. Our student-faculty ratio is 13:1, which allows staff to get to know students on an individual basis.

Participate in service learning trips or create your own experience studying anywhere in the world through the American Institute for Foreign Study.

Nothing less than Falcon pride

Clubs and organizations are another great way to get involved. 

Nothing less than community

Nothing less than Dominican tradition
Albertus Magnus is a Catholic college rich in tradition, strengthened by our roots from the Dominican Sisters who founded the College in 1925. Diversity is welcomed and celebrated. The Albertus community is dedicated to creating an open environment that supports your intellectual, spiritual, and social development.

Nothing less than personal growth
