The University's student outcomes as well as its welcoming community, signature programs, and expert faculty were highlighted by The Princeton Review.
For the ninth consecutive year, The Princeton Review has featured the University of New Haven in its annual guidebook spotlighting the country's best colleges and universities, which serves as a go-to resource for students, families, and high school guidance counselors.
In the University's profile, current students said the community is made up of a "large number of like-minded people who are motivated by the course work and offered programs." They described the community as "caring and considerate" and "very welcoming, always open to helping one another and supportive of people who want to learn more." One student shared that "it is easy to find people you fit in with because the campus is so diverse."
The Princton Review highlighted the University's focus on interdisciplinary education and project-based learning, enabling students to "build out a practical, personalized degree.
"Because at least one component of experiential education is required for graduation, the school works to ensure that students get internships or service learning, whether that's in a booming field like cybersecurity or international business, or an up-and-coming degree fire science or esports and gaming," the profile reads.
'A lot of amazing programs'
The profile featured a comment from one student who said the University, "has a lot of amazing programs you cannot get anywhere else."
The faculty were commended for bringing extensive experience into the classroom, including "real world stories as well as hands-on events and exercises." Students commented that, because "class sizes tend to stay small [we can form] better relationships with our professors."
"The colleges we profile in our book are truly a select group," said Rob Franek, Editor-in-Chief of The Princeton Review and author of The Best 390 Colleges. "The colleges that make our book's ranking lists do so entirely as a result of the opinions of their customers—students attending the colleges—who complete our 89-question survey about their school."
