The purpose of fairfield university is to establish, organize, maintain and conduct an institution for intermediate, secondary, undergraduate and graduate education in the state of connecticut, and to perform such other works of education, charity and religion. A fairfield university education has become more integrated in focus, more global in outlook, and more intentional in its structure than ever before in the jesuit tradition. We are committed to creating a student-focused, holistic, and diverse educational environment intended to educate the whole person, mind, BODY and spirit. We want to cultivate in both our undergraduate and graduate students a sense of community and strong ethical and spiritual values to guide them on their paths into the future.
