College of Arts and Sciences Student Experience

Your learning begins in the classroom. Your growth as a student and an individual continues outside of it. The College of Arts and Sciences is a movable hub where individuals from all academic groups converge. You’ll live and work in a community of other students who might share your interests and values, but also offer different ideas and perspectives.

Places to grow, explore and connect

Step out of the classroom

Your growth as a student at Quinnipiac occurs as much outside the classroom or laboratory as it does inside. Quinnipiac offers more than 150 student-led groups and organizations dedicated to academic excellence, literary and performing arts, social awareness, community engagement, student government and beyond.

Each student-led group gives you the chance to explore your interests more deeply, expand your skill set and join communities of equally talented and enthusiastic individuals. If a group that speaks to your particular interests and convictions doesn’t exist yet, we encourage you to work with student life to develop and launch it. Whatever groups you choose to become a part of, the kinds of social and professional connections you’ll make during your experience will help you long after you’ve graduated.

Student group types include:
  • Academic
  • Arts, entertainment and media groups
  • Cultural and identity groups
  • Fraternity and sorority groups
  • Government and programming boards
  • Honor societies
  • Political and advocacy groups
  • Recreation groups
  • Service groups
  • Spirit groups
  • Spiritual life and faith-based groups
  • Student media
