Honors Program

Approximately 9 percent of the UConn undergraduate student body is enrolled in our nationally recognized Honors Program. By joining UConn’s Honors Program, you become part of a tight-knit community of the most talented, successful and intellectually gifted students that attend the University.

Program participants enroll in smaller honors-only classes that are structured to include a high level of interactivity among you, your professors and other academically curious students. Enrolled Honors students are engaged in special Honors projects, independent study opportunities, and seminars in their fields of study. Honors students also build community through Honors residence halls, and participate in extracurricular events sponsored by the Honors Program.

Admission to the University’s Honors Program is by invitation only. Eligibility is traditionally based on class rank, secondary school records and SAT or ACT scores. In recent years average SAT scores of students invited into the Honors Program have approached 1400.
