Research
At Fairfield, research happens in labs and in courses across
campus; it happens in major research facilities across the country; it
happens with study abroad programs around the world. Sometimes
our students work on independent projects, checking in with a facul-
ty mentor from time to time; sometimes they work with professors on
long-term studies; sometimes they work with professors at other insti-
tutions; sometimes — in fact, very often — their majors require it.
To us, research is a fundamental part of a college education, a chance
to know your field from the inside out.
Fairfield University was founded in 1942, in Fairfield,
Connecticut, overlooking Long Island Sound. It is one of 28 Jesuit
universities and colleges in the United States — a liberal arts school
shaped by one of the world’s great intellectual, spiritual, and activist
traditions. We are committed to educating the whole person — in
body, mind, and spirit — and welcome students of all faiths.
Living and learning aren’t separate activities at Fairfield, but
integrated in meaningful ways through opportunities for civic
engagement, study abroad and hands-on research. At Fairfield
University, we hope to inspire the way you think about yourself,
your community, and your work in the world.

pizza shops, and a closet-sized organic vegan take-out place. It has
more than 1,000 acres of open space — forest, lakes, rivers, salt
marsh, wetlands and meadows — some of which is available for
hiking, camping, fishing, and picnicking, and some of which is just
there to be admired. So it’s the kind of place where, on a random
evening, you could have a great Italian meal, see a good movie for
a low price at the theater in town, and go to the beach and look at
the stars. If you hop the train in town, in just over an hour you’d
be in the heart of New York City, with its access to cultural events
of every kind and major business in every field: banking and com-
merce, arts and communications, science and medicine, engineer-
ing and high technology.
