Three colleges, three ways of thinking
Every school and institute at University of Bridgeport belongs to one of three colleges. Each is organized around a different question about what an education is for.
College 01
College of Health Sciences
Chiropractic, nursing, dental hygiene, acupuncture, nutrition, physician assistant studies and the health professions — taught in teaching clinics where students treat the public under supervision.
Who takes care of people?
College 02
College of Engineering, Business and Education
Engineering, business and education under one roof, in a state packed with the employers that hire all three. Thirty-five programs from associate to Ph.D., built around co-ops and internships.
Who builds what comes next?
College 03
College of Science and Society
Natural sciences and mathematics, social and behavioral sciences, arts and humanities. Four divisions, twelve programs and fourteen minors designed to be combined.
