Description

The University of New Haven is a private, comprehensive, coeducational university located in suburban West Haven, Connecticut that was originally founded in 1920 as the New Haven YMCA Junior College (a division of Boston's Northeastern University). The college offered instruction in business and engineering to local students. Classes were originally held exclusively at Yale University. [1] The institution became independent in 1926, reemerging as New Haven College. Four-year degree programs began in 1958, after being authorized by the Connecticut legislature. On the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the college (in 1970), New Haven College became accredited as a University and changed names once again, becoming the University of New Haven. The university is situated on an 84 acre (339,936 m²) campus, has an undergraduate enrollment of about 2,877 [1] students, and offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees in over 100 program areas.
