CAMPUS SUMMARY

The University of Bridgeport was founded in 1927 as the Junior College of Connecticut, the first junior college chartered by any legislature in the northeastern states. The college had as its purpose, in the words of the founders, to develop in students "a point of view and a habit of mind that promotes clear thinking and sound judgement in later professional and business experience". Although UB has changed in many ways since then, this commitment to student preparation and community service remains central to its mission. A key component of the mission of the University is one of career enhancing, quality education in keeping with its long-standing tradition of individual concern for each student's distinctive needs.

The University of Bridgeport is located 60 miles from New York City, on the shores of Long Island Sound in Fairfield County Connecticut. The unique 86 acre seaside campus is bordered by the 300 acre Seaside Park, with some of the finest sandy beaches between New York and Cape Cod.

UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS

The hallmark of a UB education is the University's commitment to a rich liberal arts foundation of courses that combines with each major to provide the analytical, communication, technological skills and cultural awareness for professional and personal leadership and success.

The University has a long-standing partnership with the local community to provide its residents with excellent educational opportunities that lead to degrees and career advancement.

The vast array of internships, co-ops, and clinics are available to students at corporations and medical institutions throughout Fairfield and New Haven Counties, Connecticut, New York, and around the world. UB students gain real world experience that prepares them for careers in business, the health sciences, computers and more.
