Albertus Magnus College Announces Partnership with Christian Community Action
Establish Education Partnership for Employees and Program Participants
New Haven, Conn., July 14, 2025
–
Albertus Magnus College
continues to encourage people to find their purpose — fulfilling an almost 100-year-old
promise of providing access and opportunity to higher educational and life-long learning.
Albertus is pleased to announce a special collaboration with
Christian Community Action
(CCA)
in New Haven, Conn., a non-profit organization that provides help, housing, and
hope by compassionately and holistically advocating for community and social change.
This preferred provider agreement establishes a collaborative partnership between
Albertus and CCA for the latter’s employees and beneficiaries of its programs. They
are encouraged to pursue their degree—or their next degree— through Albertus’ Adult
Undergraduate and Graduate Programs, which are designed to meet the needs of busy
professionals.
Qualified applicants who enroll in associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degree programs
will receive a 15% tuition discount. In turn, Albertus will also promote employment
and student internship opportunities at CCA as well as serve as a vital resource
for continuing education and professional development activities.
“
This partnership with Christian Community Action demonstrates our dedication to the
Four Dominican Pillars of Study, Prayer, Community, and Service,” stated Vice President
for Enrollment Management Brian Fernandes.
“
It prioritizes academic rigor and serves our local New Haven neighbors by providing
both access and opportunity to furthering education — something we at Albertus continue
to be celebrated as we enter our Second Century of Excellence.”
Members of the CCA applaud this win-win agreement.
“Albertus Magnus College’s deep commitment to its four pillars made them a natural
partner. Located just a block from our New HOPE Housing Program, they are quite literally
'loving their neighbors.' I’m deeply grateful to Marc, Brian, and their teams for
the genuine care they show their students and the warm hospitality they’ve extended
to us. I’m confident this partnership will lead to meaningful outcomes for the families
we serve as they work toward greater stability and independence." Said CCA Executive
Director Charmain Yun.
This agreement underscores Albertus’ commitment to an ongoing education. For nine
consecutive years, at least 95% of Albertus graduates have attained full-time employment
or gone onto graduate studies within six months of completing their degrees.
About Albertus Magnus College
Founded in 1925, Albertus is a coeducational Catholic College in the Dominican tradition.
Albertus' values- and liberal arts-based education is recognized by external rankings
such as US News & World Report, Money, and The New York Times, and has been named
a Top 10 Military Friendly School. For ten consecutive years, at least 95% of Albertus
graduates have attained employment or gone on to graduate studies within six months
of completing their degrees. The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,300
students across its traditional undergraduate, accelerated adult undergraduate, and
graduate program levels. Proud to enroll a student body where nearly half of its undergraduate
students receive Federal Pell Grants and are first-generation college goers, Albertus
is known for its innovative curricular offerings, recently launching new Bachelor's
degree programs in Nursing, including BSN and Connecticut's first LPN-to-BSN; General
Health Sciences; Interdisciplinary Studies; and Public Health.
Among its graduate offerings is the State of Connecticut's only Master of Arts in
Art Therapy and Counseling program, and it is just one of three schools to offer a
Master of Science in Human Services. In 2025-26, Albertus is celebrating its historic
100th Anniversary and completing implementation of the Albertus 2025: Lighting the
Way to a Second Century strategic plan, with a bold vision to "be a destination liberal
arts-based college, distinguished in its interdisciplinary and experiential approach
to education, rooted in Dominican values, that prepares students for lifelong civic
engagement and success." To learn more, please visit
