The University of New Haven (UNH) is a private, student-centered, comprehensive university with an emphasis on providing a unique combination of a solid liberal arts education and real-world, hands-on career and research opportunities.
In addition to the main campus in West Haven, the university operates a satellite campus in Tuscany, Italy and also offers programs at several other locations in Connecticut, and in California and New Mexico. The University recently announced an initiative to transform the center of campus with an interdisciplinary building in which students from different colleges will work together to enhance their experiential education via discovery based learning.

Certificates in Bioinformatics and Project Management are also offered. In addition, health related topics are addressed by the interdisciplinary Shared Health Professions Department, a university wide initiative dedicated to promoting and building health profession programs.
