Centers and Institutes at Quinnipiac University

Overview

Delivering the impact that matters

We believe your education doesn't begin and end inside the classroom. We live in an increasingly diverse and complex world that demands the knowledge, collaboration and empathy required to deliver meaningful impact.

Whether it's turning ideas into viable business applications, or digging through human history by analyzing ancient artifacts, each of our centers and institutes pairs our students and faculty together to transform in-class academic theory into real-world solutions.

Here we impart the knowledge and conduct the research that will better prepare you for your professional career, while also helping you become a better-informed citizen of the world.
