University of Connecticut at Greater Hartford

As its name indicates, the Greater Hartford Campus serves a broad section of the area’s populace. Opened in 1946 in the City of Hartford, the University of Connecticut’s Greater Hartford Campus moved in 1970 to its present park-like location in West Hartford. The Greater Hartford Campus offers students from the Hartford Metropolitan Region the flexibility of balancing family, work, and other personal commitments while receiving the full benefit of the University of Connecticut’s high quality education and resources.

The Greater Hartford Campus serves the Metropolitan Region through extensive community outreach programs which connect the university with those who are underrepresented or disadvantaged in the community. Through on-going partnerships with schools, businesses, government, national and neighborhood organizations, GHC outreach provides hands-on learning experiences and serves as a model of community service, opportunity, and success for urban campuses.

Mission
This campus significantly extends the university’s land grant mission: first, through research, teaching, and service that focus on metropolitan issues and challenges; second, by building an academic community that reflects the rich diversity of the greater metropolitan area; and third, by preparing students for transition to the main campus. We offer Baccalaureate degrees in American Studies, Business Administration, Business & Technology, English, General Studies, Professional Studies (Corporate and Organizational Studies, Web Technology Studies, Occupational Safety and Health Studies), Human Development & Family Studies, Psychology, and Urban & Community Studies.
