Description
Quinnipiac University is perhaps best known for its Polling Institute, which many news sources turn to for accurate public opinion polling data. Of course, the university is much more than that, having established a strong reputation for academic excellence in its 80+ years of existence.
Quinnipiac’s expansive academics include over 50 undergraduate programs and 20 graduate programs. The university also offers a JD program and a new medical school.
Several dual-degree programs are also available for students who plan on pursuing graduate study directly after earning their bachelor’s degree. A few of these programs include a five-year BA/MBA, a seven-year BS/DPT (for physical therapists), and a five-year BA/MAT. These convenient programs can help you achieve your professional goals much faster than usual.
Quinnipiac University also provides a handful of online learning opportunities. Some of the master’s degrees currently offered include Human Resource Leadership, Health Care Management, and Teacher Leadership.
Student life at Quinnipiac is vibrant, with over 90 student clubs and organizations to join. Many students live on campus, and dining is available in the Carl Hansen Student Center. The university’s FYRE program helps freshmen get accustomed to campus life, and SPIN assists sophomores with setting academic goals.
