Fairfield University’s new Fairfield Bellarmine program—offering two-year associate’s degrees to low-income and first-generation students from the Greater Bridgeport area—is now accepting applications for fall 2023 admission.
In the Jesuit tradition of serving urban communities and opening access to education for all, Fairfield Bellarmine will offer strong professional preparation and enhanced academic support to low-income and first-generation students from the Greater Bridgeport area, at little or no cost to students and their families. Applications are now being accepted on a rolling basis, with a Priority Application deadline of March 1, 2023.
Grounded in a rigorous liberal arts tradition, students will pursue a two-year associate’s degree, choosing one from among four academic track options:
- Business
- Computer Science
- Liberal Arts
- Nursing & Healthcare
Fairfield Bellarmine graduates will be prepared to either continue their studies for two more years toward a bachelor’s degree, or embark on a meaningful professional career.
Named after St. Robert Bellarmine, S.J., the patron saint of Fairfield University, this new academic division of Fairfield will welcome the first cohort of up to 100 talented students to Bellarmine Campus — located at 1596 Boston Ave. in Bridgeport, Conn. — for the 2023-24 academic year.
