Our commitment to success is in our DNA.

Quinnipiac University was born as The Connecticut College of Commerce, founded – and financed – by eleven determined business students who believed in the transformative value of college education. Nearly a century later, their ambition, determination and enterprising spirit live on in our AACSB-accredited Business School and AACSB accredited accounting program, award-winning business school, from our state-of-the-art Business Innovation Hub to the Terry W. Goodwin ‘67 Financial Technology Center, the People’s United Centers for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the People’s United Center for Women in Business.

We offer the best of both worlds.

Quinnipiac University has the resources and opportunities of a large university with the personalized attention and close-knit, inclusive community of a small liberal arts college.
