Welcome to University of Bridgeport’s 2024-2025 academic year. No matter your degree program or area of study, we are here to support you every step of the way on your path to a successful career and an amazing future. We are proud to provide career-oriented programs and flexible degree options that prepare you to succeed in life.
In this catalog, you will find programs on the leading edge of innovation. UB has a storied history of firsts, such as the world’s first school of dental hygiene, the first master’s degree in nutrition, and the first university-based chiropractic program in the country. We have fostered championship gymnastics and soccer teams and achieved a nearly 100% employment rate for our engineering graduates. That spirit of innovation and excellence continues today, and we have expanded our degree programs into fields like public health, computer science, and artificial intelligence to train you for careers that are in demand now and in the future.
As president of University of Bridgeport, I want you to know that we will nurture you on your unique path to personal and professional growth. We all learn - and are inspired to learn - in different ways. Some of us are visual learners. Some need to relate what we’re learning to our own lives to make it meaningful. Here at UB, we strive to remove barriers to learning, focusing on engagement by structuring our classrooms as shared experiences. We also give you the opportunity to apply what you are learning to solving real-world problems in your communities.
We are also very proud of our history of being a diverse and inclusive community, where your unique experiences and characteristics are not just accepted, but celebrated. Members of our community represent every socioeconomic status. UB students include first-generation students, and those returning for advanced degrees. Our students come from neurodiverse populations and cultures from around the globe. They are veterans, working families, and business owners. As a student at UB, you will have the opportunity to learn from many individuals who have different experiences in a nurturing and supportive environment, preparing you for today’s workforce and global economy.
During your time at UB, you will be given the tools to take control of your own learning and achieve your full potential. This catalog is an important part of that toolbox. I encourage you to read it carefully, especially the introductory pages and the pages relating to the program you are enrolled in. Taking charge of your own education begins with knowing the way, and this catalog is both a compass and a guide. I look forward to seeing where it takes you.
