    Who we are:

    The University of New Haven, founded on the Yale campus in 1920, is a private, coeducational university situated on the coast of southern New England. It-s a diverse and vibrant community of about 9,800 students, with campuses in West Haven and Orange, Connecticut and Prato, Italy. Within its five colleges, students immerse themselves in a transformative, career-focused education across the liberal arts and sciences, fine arts, business, engineering, public safety, and public service. We offer more than 100 academic programs, all grounded in a long-standing commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary, project-based learning. Here, the experience of learning is both personal and pragmatic, guided by a distinguished faculty who care deeply about individual student success. As leaders in their fields, faculty members provide the inspiration and recognition needed for students to fulfill their potential and succeed at whatever they choose to do.

     

    The University of New Haven is in a great location. New Haven has a lot to offer, and surrounding cities along the shoreline are attractive for families with Connecticut being home to some of the best schools in the nation. The East Coast is easily accessible by train, and the university is close to New York and Boston.

     

    The Tagliatela College of Engineering (TCoE) takes pride in providing students a well-balanced mix of hands-on education with a strong theoretical foundation that allows graduates to function effectively and confidently in the workplace. Our graduates are highly sought after and known by employers to be work-ready. Our curricula in core engineering and applied science disciplines, combined with strong interdisciplinary coursework, internships in the field, co-curricular activities, and research opportunities, enable our graduates to remain a step ahead of the competition in today's crowded job market. The TCoE offers six nationally accredited engineering and applied science programs (chemical, civil, electrical and computer, and mechanical engineering, computer science, and chemistry). The buzz is out there beyond Connecticut too as more than half of our incoming first-year students come from out-of-state. We also serve a large number of international and multicultural students.
