The direction of choice at Sacred Heart University

Today, 60 years since our founding, SHU is one of America’s fastest-growing universities and the second largest Catholic university in New England—second only to Boston College. The time is right to launch a comprehensive fundraising campaign that will fuel excellence across all of our academic and co-curricular programs.

The go-to strategy at Sacred Heart University

We’ve made some bold moves over the past decade: greatly expanding our campus, creating stellar new facilities and establishing new schools, colleges and degree programs. Now is the time to capitalize on this momentum and give our students what they need for their lifelong Pioneer Journey: tools to advance the common good and the courage to plunge forward into the unknown.

Our commitment to Catholic values and service to society

It means everything that SHU students’ education is informed by the Catholic intellectual tradition, rooted in the liberal arts and infused with the Pioneer Spirit. Sacred Heart cultivates a habit of critical thinking that helps students understand their own values and their obligation to improve the lives of others.
