Honors Advisors by School or College

Honors Advisor Assignment

Students are assigned to an Honors advisor in the major they will be completing their Honors work for University Honors Laureate or Honors Scholar designations.  Current Honors students should go to Student Admin, Academic Progress & Advising, and Advisor to view their advisors. If you have recently changed majors and are not sure who your Honors advisor is or if one of the advisors listed for your Honors major is not listed below, please contact us at honors@uconn.edu and we will help with an Honors advisor assignment.

If you are applying to the Honors program and are not sure who to work with or are unsure who your Honors advisor is, please email us at honors@uconn.edu and let us know your name, ID, and intended Honors major.

Note: All Advisors listed in the followings sections are for the Storrs Campus unless otherwise noted.
