The University of New Haven is a private, comprehensive, coeducational university located in West Haven, Connecticut, which borders the larger city of New Haven and Long Island Sound.

The University was founded in 1920 and is situated on an 84-acre (339,936 m²) campus, with an enrollment of about 3,600 undergraduate students and 1,600 graduate students. It offers associate's and bachelor's degrees in more than 95 programs and master’s degrees in 25 areas. The University is a member of the Northeast-10 Conference in NCAA Division II, one of the most academically and athletically successful conferences in the NCAA. It offers 18 varsity sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, baseball and softball, and men’s and women’s soccer. The university also has a variety of club sports, along with a recreation center that sponsors numerous intramural activities and fitness classes. Its mascot is the Charger, a term used to describe a medieval war horse.

The past five years have been a time of transformation for the University. In 2008-2009, freshman enrollments shattered all University records and surpassed other schools nationally with an increase of 67 percent. At the same time, new student applications increased 100 percent^[2]. New facilities, including the David A. Beckerman Recreation Center, the new $46 million Soundview residence hall, and the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science ^[3], which is to begin construction in the summer of 2009, establish physical evidence of the changes. The Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium, Kayo Field, the Laurel Vlock Center for Convergent Media, a new Systems Engineering laboratory and new music practice rooms are further evidence of an increased emphasis on capital improvements.

The University has also created new and expanded programs, hired new faculty, built state-of-the-art smart classrooms, expanded study-abroad opportunities, and become a nationally recognized leader in experiential education. It has created a partnership with 10 municipalities within the region, including the cities of New Haven and West Haven, that culminated in the opening of a Science and Engineering University Magnet School in West Haven for grades 6 through 12 in September 2008.
