Dear Graduate Student: At the University of New Haven, we provide world-class career preparation in all of our programs, but our overarching goal is to prepare students to lead meaningful lives. As you examine this catalog and become aware of the breadth and diversity of our graduate programs, you will recognize the remarkable opportunity you are facing. You are about to embark on a journey in your chosen area of study that will help you grow personally, professionally, and educationally. Our hope, and our mission, is that this journey will help you achieve a more meaningful career, the benefits of life-long learning, and the sense of your responsibility as a citizen of the world. The Graduate School at UNH was founded in 1969 and is one of the largest in Connecticut. Our advanced-degree alumni are employed in private industry and the public sector throughout the state, across the nation, and around the world. The overwhelming majority of our faculty hold doctoral or terminal degrees in their respective fields, and in many cases they bring with them national and international reputations in those fields. They also have professional, realworld experience that is especially vital to students careers. They are committed in unrivaled ways to the success of each and every one of their students. A wide range of support services is also available to you at UNH, and we are constantly trying to improve and enrich the educational experience of our graduate students in many ways. One of my favorite quotations is from the late Ernest Boyer, a former president of the Carnegie Foundation, who once warned that the crisis of our time relates not to technical competence, but to a loss of the social and historical perspective, to the disastrous divorce of competence from conscience. As you focus your studies in your chosen field, I hope you will also allow yourself some time to question your own values as well as prevailing societal values and look for ways to improve the world that you will help form as a member of a global society. I wish you success in your studies and personal enrichment through your experiences at the University of New Haven. Please come to see me if there is ever anything I can do to assist you. Sincerely, Steven H. Kaplan, President

Other students studying at the graduate level are preparing to enter new careers. Most graduate programs offer multiple areas of specialization; flexibility in elective choices; opportunities for field work, internships, independent study, and research; and the possibility of cooperative education work experience as part of the curriculum. The university s faculty is outstanding in its combination of highly qualified, full-time academics (nearly 90 percent of whom hold doctoral or terminal degrees in their field from a broad spectrum of prestigious institutions) and part-time faculty members employed in area businesses and professions who bring, in addition to academic qualifications, practical insight and experience to the classroom.

The Master of Science in Education is offered at the main campus and at off-campus locations in New London and Newington. In addition to the graduate programs at the main campus in West Haven, the university offers the Master of Science in Forensic Science with a concentration in advanced investigation at its California campus in Sacramento and is also authorized to offer the Master of Science in National Security and Public Safety at our UNH-Sandia campus in Livermore, California.

Accreditation Regional The University of New Haven is a comprehensive, nonsectarian, independent institution of higher learning, chartered by the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut and accredited by the Board of Governors for Higher Education of the State of Connecticut. It is also accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC), a nongovernmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering postgraduate instruction. NEASC accreditation of an institution indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated mission through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. NEASC accreditation is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered or of the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students. Engineering The bachelor of science degree programs in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering are fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Computer Science bachelor s degree program is fully accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Graduate School 15 California Programs Authorization for UNH to operate in California is granted through the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, which oversees and monitors the university s compliance with regulations set forth in the California Education Code and is the students primary advocate in matters of consumer protection. This authorization applies to the university s master of science program in forensic science with a concentration in advanced investigation and to graduate certificates in forensic computer investigation and in information protection and security, offered at the UNH California campus in Sacramento. Authorization for our master of science degree in national security and public safety at our UNH-Sandia campus in Livermore and the master of science in fire science offered at Riverside is also granted through the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. New Mexico Programs Based upon the University of New Haven s full accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and the Connecticut Department of Higher Education, the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education has determined that the University of New Haven qualifies for exempt status. Virginia Programs The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) has certified the University of New Haven to operate in the Commonwealth of Virginia and has granted authorization for the university to offer graduate programs in National Security and Public Safety and in National Security with a concentration in Information Protection and Security, as well as a graduate certificate in National Security.
