school summary

The University of New Haven’s 80-acre campus sits atop a hill overlooking Long Island Sound. But the University of New Haven (UNH) is more than just land and buildings. You’ll find the spirit and energy of UNH in the faces and words of the people you’ll meet.

Get to know our internationally-recognized, experienced, and approachable faculty; our hard-working, focused administration and staff; and our world-class, diverse, energized student body.

UNH stands apart from other institutions of higher learning because of its commitment to the concept of experiential learning. UNH is more than just a university, it’s an experience.
