Quinnipiac University began in 1929 in New Haven as the Connecticut College of Commerce, founded during the Great Depression by Samuel W. Tator and others. It was renamed the Junior College of Commerce in 1935 and Quinnipiac College in 1951, moved to its Mount Carmel site in Hamden in 1966, and became a university in 2000. The Hamden campus lies at the foot of Sleeping Giant State Park, with a hilltop York Hill campus home to M&T Bank Arena and a North Haven site used mainly for graduate programmes. Quinnipiac offers 58 undergraduate majors plus law and medicine degrees; the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine took its first class of 60 in 2013. In 2024 it enrolled 6,557 undergraduates and 2,867 graduate students. The Bobcats play NCAA Division I with no football team, and the men's ice hockey team won the 2023 NCAA title, the school's first in any sport.
