We are a Jesuit University, rooted in one of the world’s oldest intellectual and spiritual traditions, with more than 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students from the U.S. and across the globe enrolled in the University’s five schools. Fairfield embraces a liberal humanistic approach to education, encouraging critical thinking, cultivating free and open inquiry, and fostering ethical and religious values.

At Fairfield University, we encourage you to let curiosity get the best of you — to let your mind wander, and then follow it.
Get the tools you need to succeed — whether it’s career advancement, personal enrichment or gaining greater proficiency in your field.
Explore part-time, flexible options for bachelor’s degrees, credit courses and certificates to achieve many personal and professional goals.
During this year’s 7th annual STAGiving Day, alumni, parents, and friends are invited to BE INSPIRED by the strength of Fairfield students and help the University reach the 1,942-donor goal to unlock an additional $1,000,000 in challenge funds to further prepare students for successful futures.
