ABOUT POST UNIVERSITY

Founded in 1890, Post University is a student-focused, career-driven university committed to providing students with the knowledge, personal skills and experience required to be leaders in their chosen fields. 

At Post University, we offer an exciting, challenging environment where students not only learn about specific subjects, but they learn about themselves and the careers available to them. Perhaps most important, we have the resources and faculty needed to make sure each student gets the personal attention they need to succeed.  Our student to faculty ratio is less than 15:1, which creates an ideal environment for daily interaction between students and their professors and classmates.  

Post University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and College, Inc., though its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. We are licensed by the State of Connecticut to grant associates, baccalaureate and master's degrees in a number of areas including business, criminal justice, information technology, legal studies, sport management, equine business management, and social services. Post University also offers 15 NCAA Division II men's and women's sports, as well as equestrian and dressage teams.  Beginning in Fall 2010, the university also will compete in the Collegiate Sprint Football League against well-known universities, such as Army, Navy, Princeton and Cornell.

Post University attracts students from all races, cultures, geographies, and socio-economic backgrounds. Approximately two thirds of Post University's 700 Main Campus students live on campus in one of six residence halls.  Students are encouraged to live on campus and participate in the many social, athletic and community activities available to them.

Post University is located on 58 acres in the suburbs of Waterbury, Connecticut. Our campus and surrounding community offer a safe, scenic, friendly and convenient home for students. Our location in the heart of Connecticut provides convenient service from Amtrak's Northeast Corridor as well as airline service to Hartford. In fact, we're just 90 minutes away from New York City and two hours from Boston.

From academic programs to career experiences to facilities to personalized attention, Post University excels at providing students what they need to achieve their career goals.
