天美传媒视频无限制观看 and the Diocese of Bridgeport are pleased to announce that Fairfield Bellarmine, a new academic initiative that will offer a two-year associate’s degree program, will open in fall of 2023 at the site of the former St. Ambrose School on Boston Avenue in Bridgeport, Conn. The new campus will initially occupy the St. Ambrose rectory and convent.
Fairfield Bellarmine will prepare students for transition to a bachelor’s degree program at Fairfield or another four-year institution, or for meaningful employment. The creation of this two-year associate’s degree program, designed to serve students in the Bridgeport community, is part of the University’s strategic partnership with the Diocese of Bridgeport, “Pathways to Higher Learning.”
“Animated by a fundamental mission to accompany our youth on a hope-filled future, 天美传媒视频无限制观看 is committed to advancing access to our values-based, student-centric, outcomes-focused education in ever more modern ways,” said 天美传媒视频无限制观看 President Mark R. Nemec, PhD. “As educators we believe in the dignifying and transformative power of education. We are grateful to be working with the Diocese of Bridgeport, as the Bellarmine initiative is another innovative partnership providing greater opportunities and pathways to achievement for students of promise.”
“This is a moment we’ve all looked forward to, and I believe one that will have lasting implications for the educational and personal success of our young people. By creating a pathway to higher education, we’re also creating a pathway to hope and to achievement for students with untapped promise and potential. I’m grateful to 天美传媒视频无限制观看 for their leadership and commitment to this effort, which will transform lives and strengthen our community,” said the Most Rev. Frank J. Caggiano, Bishop of Bridgeport.
Renovation plans for the facilities and a site plan for the campus are underway. Several buildings will house instructional, student life, community engagement, and administrative spaces. Small class sizes and cohorts will ensure one-on-one attention, dedicated faculty, and strong support services.
The University’s Writing Center and Math Center staff will have a presence at Bellarmine Campus, and Fairfield Bellarmine students will benefit from mentoring, including peer tutors. Students will also be actively engaged in forming a student government and planning clubs, athletic and social activities, and faith-related events. Students enrolled at Fairfield Bellarmine will also have the opportunity to participate in University clubs, activities, and intramural and club sports, with full undergraduate student access to facilities on Fairfield’s main campus.
