Internships & Outcomes

Tour stop audio transcript

Albertus Magnus College graduates are workforce ready and that has a lot to do with the hands-on opportunities they get from internships. Experiential learning and critical thinking skills from a liberal arts education distinguish Albertus students. They learn from the experts -- and New Haven is a conveniently and strategically located hub for a wide variety of industries. The numbers back it up. For five consecutive years, Albertus graduates outperformed the national average when it comes to finding employment or continuing their education six-months after graduation. And the return on investment is impressive looking at salary data 30 and 40 years out. Studies rank Albertus in the top 10-percent.

New Haven

Our 50 acre campus is just a stone's throw away from the vibrant downtown of historic New Haven. Students get the best of both worlds -- rolling hills which look beautiful all four seasons and the cultural diversity of a college town filled with concert venues, museums, art galleries and renowned theatres. For foodies, New Haven is known for every type of cuisine imaginable. Its restaurant scene is flavorful and so are the food trucks. If the water is your scene, Long Wharf and beaches are nearby; and if you want to getaway, New Haven is conveniently located between New York and Boston, easily accessible by trains, planes, and automobiles.

Students carry out that mission by engaging in life-long learning, serving their communities, and promoting faith and justice in action. You do not need to be Catholic to attend Albertus, as everyone is always welcome.

Community Service

Tour stop audio transcript

With Community and Service being two of the Four Dominican Pillars, at Albertus we take the phrase "giving back to others" to heart. Service to the College and New Haven neighborhoods enriches your life and cultivates an atmosphere of mutual respect. Whether you take on a formal internship, work-study, or volunteer -- you're growing, learning, and working for the common good. Here's just some examples: cultivating crops in the community garden that we donate to local soup kitchens; serving on the Justice Panel; and cleaning-up the grounds at some of our beloved partners like the New Haven Botanical Garden of Healing Dedicated to Victims of Gun Violence.
