Welcome to Undergraduate Admission


Yes, you could go to a college and take some classes and do some activities and go to some events and think a few thoughts and get a diploma and get a job with a paycheck and have a standard-issue life.

We want more. And if you want more, maybe you belong here.

Image: Student in classWe're Fairfield University. We're a Catholic, Jesuit university, rooted in one of the world's oldest intellectual and spiritual traditions. We are located in the heart of a region where the future takes shape, on a stunning campus on the Connecticut coast, an hour from New York City.

We believe that living and learning aren't two separate activities. They're parts of a coherent whole. Everything you do here - course work and research, internships and community service, campus leadership and study abroad - adds up. Everyone you meet here - people who represent a wide range of spiritual beliefs, political opinions, and personal experiences - gives you something essential.
