Visit & Apply

Where you choose to attend college is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make - it's four years that can shape the rest of your life. And it's not always an easy choice, which is why we strive to make the application process as easy as possible.

Academics

At Fairfield, we believe that how you learn is just as important as what you learn. Which is why we created a curriculum designed to help you do just that—to learn how to learn on a deeper level.

From exploring how creativity helps unlock new ideas to solving problems using research and statistics, the core Pathways are at the center of an undergraduate education. They'll help you discover your competencies and passions, and shape them into careers.

Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Programs

Fairfield University’s accelerated bachelor’s/master’s programs allow qualified undergraduate students to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in as few as five years, depending on their program of study. This accelerated pathway makes it possible for students to directly transition into a master’s program following their senior year and earn a graduate degree in less time and at potentially less cost than when done separately.
