here.
Bridgeport built this university, and the university works for Bridgeport. Our clinics treat the public, our front yard is a public park, and most of what happens on this campus is open to walk into.
UB Clinics
Chiropractic, dental hygiene, naturopathic, and acupuncture care from student clinicians under faculty supervision — at a fraction of private-practice cost.
Book a visitSeaside Park
Our campus opens straight onto an Olmsted-designed park on Long Island Sound — a shoreline that belongs to the whole city, year-round.

NCAA Division II teams, youth clinics, and home games the neighborhood is invited to. Bring the kids; wear purple.
Game scheduleArts & Lectures
Exhibitions, performances, and the centennial lecture series at the Arnold Bernhard Center — most of it free and open to the public.
What's onA coastal campus,
an hour from
everything.
Fifty-six acres on Long Island Sound with Seaside Park at the doorstep — and Manhattan close enough for a Tuesday internship. Few universities offer both the shoreline and the city.
A century of turning
ambition into outcomes.
From a small college on Connecticut's industrial coast to a university of three colleges and 60+ career-focused programs. Our centennial arrives in 2027.
A century of
Purple Knights.
Every degree awarded here since 1927 belongs to someone still connected to this place. The centennial is the moment to make that connection count.
