Welcome to UConn Stamford
Welcome to the University of Connecticut Stamford Campus. Located in downtown Stamford, Connecticut, the campus is steps away from major corporate headquarters such as Pitney Bowes, Purdue Pharma, General Electric, Thomson Reuters and UBS, performing arts centers including the Palace Theatre and Rich Forum, close to 75 restaurants, and shopping, highlighted by the Stamford Town Mall with 100 fine shops featuring Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy’s, all of which are easily accessible by train, car and bus.
UConn Stamford is the top choice of students in Fairfield County and has attracted valedictorians and salutatorians to start their studies at the Stamford Campus. Offering four-year undergraduate programs, and with an Honors Program that engages students in seminar discussions, our programs of study provide 10 academic majors that you can begin and finish at the Stamford Campus, complemented by graduate degrees (MBA and EMBA), and professional development programs through the Connecticut Information Technology Institute. The campus offers traditional-aged students, returning adults, professionals in the workforce, transfer students and lifelong learners a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences that complements our professional preparation curriculum. |

The UConn Stamford Campus is primarily a commuter campus, with students attending classes from throughout Fairfield County. In an attempt to accommodate students who wish to live near the UConn Stamford Campus to have access to part-time jobs and internships at the major corporations near the campus, a new Off Campus Housing service has begun. Students, who wish to locate apartments, rooms in homes, or other living arrangements, can gain information about off campus housing options through a campus online web service.
The UConn Stamford Campus strives to sustain the quality and excellence of the academic programs that are offered at the Stamford Campus. We provide classrooms and laboratories with contemporary equipment and computers. Our students are provided with scholarships based upon merit and financial need to pay for tuition, fees and books, offered opportunities to engage in undergraduate and graduate research that benefits local communities; and given opportunities for student engagement through the Honors Program, Student Government Association and Service-Learning. This fall, the initial phases of our Learning Commons will be implemented, with the Writing Center and the Source for Active Learning co-located in the Jeremy Richard Library, where students can access support services in writing and math/science tutoring.
Students, faculty, staff and visitors who take the Metro North Train System as their primary mode of transportation will be picked up at the Stamford Train Station and provided free rides in the campus shuttle bus on Monday through Thursday, starting at 7:00 a.m. The shuttle bus runs continuously throughout the day to and from the Stamford Train Station, with the last run to the station departing at 10:30 p.m.
It is for all of these reasons that the UConn Stamford Campus attracts students from throughout Southwestern Connecticut and international students from throughout the world. I encourage you to explore the opportunities for personal and professional enhancements that UConn Stamford can offer to you. You’ll be surprised to see all that happens beyond our dramatic concourse. We look forward to meeting you and serving you.
