Sacred Heart has a bus system which is timed to meet the trains going into and from New York at the Bridgeport train station. It is common for a student to have an internship in New York and then return for an evening class or students may have a morning class and then take a later train into the city. The College of Business & Technology, the Placement Office, and the faculty give unending support in securing internships and jobs. Our fashion marketing graduates currently hold positions at many iconic companies.
