Sacred Heart to open graduate center in Stamford

Sacred Heart University announced plans this morning to open a graduate studies center at Landmark Square in Stamford to increase the school’s outreach within the region’s business community.

The satellite campus will give students access to courses typically taught at the university’s Fairfield campus, including its classes for degrees in digital marketing, human resource management, film, educational leadership and administration.

Previously, the university has held limited initiatives in Stamford, including  corporate training and continuing education and undergraduate courses.

“We are excited to increase our presence in Stamford,” said  John J. Petillo, university president, in a May 22 statement. “The new graduate center will offer greater options for our graduate students while giving us an opportunity to build on an already strong relationship with the Stamford community.”

The center is expect to open for the fall 2013 semester.
