About Sacred Heart University
Sacred Heart University (SHU) is an acclaimed private Roman Catholic university founded in 1963 in Fairfield, Connecticut. It holds the historic distinction of being the first Catholic university in the United States to be founded and led entirely by laypeople rather than clergy. Situated on a scenic suburban campus along the Connecticut Gold Coast roughly 55 miles northeast of New York City, SHU serves over 10,700 undergraduate and graduate students across nationally recognized colleges, including the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology, Davis & Henley College of Nursing, College of Health Professions, College of Arts & Sciences, and the Isabelle Farrington College of Education & Human Development. Across its 100+ acre main Park Avenue campus and the expansive 66-acre West Campus—the former global headquarters of General Electric—SHU provides world-class maker laboratories, the Martire Family Arena, simulation clinics, and international study centers such as the Dingle Ireland Global Campus.
