University College has maintained the founding premise of the University by continuing to serve the needs of the adult in their quest for personal, professional and spiritual growth. University College strives to maintain its position as a leading resource for the educational needs of adults by stressing quality teaching, student services, cultural diversity and innovative curricula. 

Founded in 1963, Sacred Heart University was created to embody a new direction within American Catholicism, led and staffed by laity, independent and locally oriented. As the University grew, the vision and mission expanded, producing a quality institution which serves a regional, national and international purpose.
