Campus SummaryTOP
Fairfield University is a comprehensive Jesuit university that prepares students for leadership and service in a constantly changing world. The University's six schools offer undergraduates, graduate students and continuing education students a well-rounded education distinguished by real-world opportunities within and beyond the classroom. One-on-one contact with professors, access to first-rate facilities and technology, and a wide array of cocurricular activities (including Division I athletics and exciting programming at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts) give students many ways to develop new interests and expertise.
Fairfield was founded in an historic Connecticut shoreline town bearing the same name in 1942 by members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a Catholic religious order renowned internationally for its 450-year-old tradition of learning, scholarship, and an active service in the world. Approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students from across the country and around the world are enrolled at the University.
