The Sacred Heart University academic experience can be rigorous. Even the best scholar needs a helping hand now and then, and on our campus the help you need is never more than a few steps away. Once you declare a major, you will be assigned an advisor within the department. At Sacred Heart University, the advisors are available to help you not only with academic issues, but also with the personal issues that inevitably accompany the transition to college life and the stress of pursuing a degree.
Many students maintain a close connection with their advisors long after graduation.
With the help of the General Electric Corporation, Sacred Heart University provides the GE Scholars Program to offer scholarships that recognize and reward the accomplishments of a selected group of minority students. If you are a high-octane student, and if you prove yourself exceptional through your academic work, the Sacred Heart University Honors Program provides more challenging coursework in an environment of enlightened inquiry, and results in the Honors designation on transcripts and diploma. This program is proof of Sacred Heart University s understanding of the often-challenging transition you ll make in your first year of college. Under the Newcomer Program, you ll be assigned a faculty advisor who will assist you with all the myriad details of life on campus, academic and otherwise. Sacred Heart University recognizes that some highly motivated students may come to college under-prepared, and the Academic Incentive Program strives to meet the special needs of these students.
