University of Connecticut

Welcome to UConn Nation

Here, we’re Huskies
The University of Connecticut is ranked among the top public universities in the United States. Each year, nearly 24,000 undergraduate students take advantage of a world-class education built around what interests them at our main campus in Storrs and our four regional campuses at UConn Avery Point, Hartford, Waterbury, and Stamford. With more than 115 majors spanning 10 schools and colleges, you’ll find the path you’re meant to take—one that leads to your personal growth and success. 

Always pushing what’s possible
From award-winning researchers to premier educators, entrepreneurs, and strategists, UConn’s faculty are prestigious experts from across every field. They’re dedicated to helping you make an impact while working alongside you in the lab, in the classroom, and during their office hours. With the help of our caring and attentive staff and academic advisors, you’ll grow as a person and student during your time at UConn and beyond. 

On, with unstoppable momentum 
At UConn, the percentage of students who live on campus is one of the highest among public universities. Here, you’re bound to forge close relationships with your peers, professors, and advisors. When you live on campus, you have a community of Huskies around you, and you also have access to experiences and opportunities created with you in mind. From Learning Communities and collaborative areas to study rooms and recreational spaces, our campuses are built to accommodate your needs—and with 700 clubs and organizations to choose from, it’s easy to get involved on campus. 

United by pride 
Being a Husky means living the traditions: rubbing Jonathan’s nose for good luck; indulging in One Ton Sundae; and sledding down Horsebarn Hill. At UConn, Huskymania is a real and constant force around campus, whether you’re an eager fan, a casual athlete, or a hardcore competitor. When you have 21 Division I varsity teams and 24 national championships, it comes with the territory.

Become a Husky 
Deciding to apply to the University of Connecticut means you understand the importance of a UConn degree and where it can lead. Each year, more than 1,200 highly qualified transfer students enroll at the University. They come for our exceptional range of academic programs, nationally recognized schools and colleges, and our renowned faculty. Transferring from one college or university to another can be challenging. That's why we work hard to make transferring to UConn as smooth as possible to help qualified students obtain the superior education they deserve. All transfer applicants must apply online through the UConn Application.
