About Quinnipiac University

Quinnipiac University is a private, non-sectarian, coeducational university located in Hamden, which is a town in New Haven County, in the US state of Connecticut. Hamden, which is also known as ‘’ The Land of the Sleeping Giant’’, has been named the 33rd ‘’ Best Place to Live and Launch’’ by Fortune Magazine and CNN Money, in 2008, due to its great blend of urban and suburban lifestyles. The USA Census Bureau estimated its population at a number of nearly 59 000 inhabitants, in 2005, the town spreading on a total area of 33.3 square miles.

Quinnipiac University was founded in 1929, by Samuel W. Tator, who was then a significant business professor and politician, first starting as Connecticut College of Commerce, opening its doors for the 1st time in 1929, having then an enrollment of just 200 students. The institution was renamed Quinnipiac College, in 1959, in honor of the Quinninpiac Indian tribe that once inhabited Greater New Haven being officially named Quinnipiac University, on July 1, 2000, to better reflect its relatively new breadth in academic offerings.

Since it first opened its doors to students, Quinnipiac grew, offering today undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in various fields, through its School of Law, School of Education, School of Health Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business and School of Communications.
