About

Post has a proud heritage over the past 116 years of empowering students to take control of their careers and lives and ultimately to become leaders in their chosen fields. We have an exciting, challenging environment where you will learn about specific disciplines and about yourself and the careers available to you.

We give Each Student, Every Day, the resources to become models of personal achievement and innovative leaders. Our student to faculty ratio is less than 15:1, offering an ideal environment for learning about matters that make a difference in your life and in the lives of others. Our dedicated faculty will provide you with the personal challenges and support that make the difference between those who lead and those who follow.

The academic programs at Post University are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges using the same standards applied to other universities such as Harvard and Yale. We are licensed by the State of Connecticut to grant associate’s, baccalaureate and master’s degrees in a number of areas including business, information technology, health, entertainment/sports, equine business management and security and social services. In addition, we have a number of certificate programs that are preparatory for the practice of specific specialties and that can be integrated into either an associate or baccalaureate degree.

Leadership is an essential focus on campus and you will have many opportunities to demonstrate it. You will learn leadership in your classroom activities; and just as important, in the extra curricular activities provided for you to interact and collaborate with other students, faculty and staff. Competition on the playing field at the NCAA Division II level is another opportunity afforded you to exercise leadership.

To complete the ties between scholarship, leadership and career opportunities Post University provides job shadowing, and internship programs as well as Summer Co-op opportunities at locations convenient to you. The Office of Career Services is an integral part of our community at Post. Here we prepare students—and expect them—to take advantage of life’s opportunities.

Post University occupies a 58-acre hilltop residential campus 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. The residence halls range from single rooms to suites consisting of private rooms around a shared living and eating facility. This is in addition to our campus’ large dining rooms.

Students are encouraged to live on campus and participate in the social and community activities organized and managed by the staff of the award winning Student Life Services division. The campus is wireless and our electronically equipped classrooms are supported by dedicated IT staff with the latest computer and telecommunications technology.

From academic programs to career experiences to facilities, Post University excels at quality. Its capstone to quality is its dedicated faculty that knows you, your experiences and your desire to succeed.

We are about Each Student Every Day.
