History
Quinnipiac University is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution of higher education. Originally known as the Connecticut College of Commerce, it was founded in 1929 by Samuel W. Tator as a small business college awarding associate's degrees. It was renamed Quinnipiac College in 1951, in honor of the Quinnipiack Indian tribe who inhabited the Greater New Haven area during the 17th-19th centuries. In 1952 Quinnipiac assumed administrative control of Larson College, a private women's college (the Georgian-style building formerly occupied by Larson College is now an assisted-living facility ). In 1966 Quinnipiac moved to its current location in Hamden, Connecticut. In 1995, the American Bar Association fully accredited Quinnipiac to award the Juris Doctor degree through the Quinnipiac University School of Law and the Quinnipiac School of Law Center was dedicated later that year. As of July 1, 2000 the school changed its name again to Quinnipiac University.
