Map of CT with all UConn campuses represented across the state.

Explore, create, and lead with UConn Honors at any UConn campus. Requirements for Honors are the same on all campuses, and if you’re admitted to Honors on one campus and then campus change to another UConn campus, your Honors status moves with you. We are one UConn and one Honors Program!

Engage in breadth and depth of learning in and out of the classroom with Honors coursework, Honors Events, Leadership, Academics in Action, Engagement in the Major, the Honors thesis – all leading to two graduation awards, Honors Scholar and University Honors Laureate. Honors opportunities allow you to individualize your experience, meet new people, use your talents, build your skills, and connect to a supportive community who help one another engage fully in their undergraduate experience while balancing their priorities.

Interested in being in Honors? Learn about admission to Honors as an incoming first-year student (Hartford, Stamford, or Storrs) or how to apply as a current student or transfer student (all campuses).

Honors Advisors are available to help you along the way as well as Honors Guides for Peer Success (Honors GPS) and Honors & Enrichment staff. Not sure who to reach out to? Email honors@uconn.edu and you’ll be connected with someone who can help!
