Fairfield Bellarmine
In the Jesuit tradition of serving urban communities and expanding access to education, Fairfield Bellarmine provides strong professional preparation and enhanced academic support for first-generation students and families with limited financial resources from Bridgeport and surrounding Connecticut areas.
Grounded in a rigorous liberal arts foundation, students pursue two-year associate’s degrees in one of four tracks: business, computer science, liberal studies, or health studies. Graduates are well-prepared to continue toward a bachelor’s degree or embark on a meaningful professional career.

About Us
Named after St. Robert Bellarmine, S.J., the patron saint of Fairfield University, this academic division of Fairfield welcomed its first cohort of talented students to Bellarmine Campus at 460 Mill Hill Ave. in Bridgeport, Conn., during the 2023-24 academic year. The first class graduated in May 2025.
We believe wholeheartedly in this transformative mission, and we want to ensure every student's success and retention. You can join us in this endeavor to make a modern Jesuit, Catholic education accessible and affordable by supporting us.
