Quinnipiac University is a private liberal arts institution with three campuses located in Hamden and North Haven. Many of the university's 10,000 students also complete classwork in virtual classrooms. The school's full suite of certificates, undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees help make Quinnipiac one of the best online colleges in Connecticut. Twenty-one online degrees and certificates are offered by Quinnipiac's accredited schools of business and law, health sciences, nursing, education, communications, and engineering. Select programs require in-person participation such as clinical or practicum hours. However, many of Quinnipiac's online options -- like the master of science in cybersecurity -- offer a 100% virtual experience. Courses are asynchronous for maximum convenience. Admission requirements vary by program. Before applying, every prospective student is connected with an admissions counselor to discuss individual educational goals and assess program eligibility. All accepted online students receive the same tuition rates, regardless of residency.
